I have been making these treats for years……giving them in decorated holiday bags as well……to my teaching partners. I DO “kick it up a notch”, though, by dizzling melted chocolate wafers over the whole batch as it comes out from the oven. I use the chocolate wafers from ACMoore/Michaels/JoAnne fabric. My co-workers wait each year for these treats.

Christy, would you believe this is how I found your site? I was searching for how to make caramel popcorn and your site came up. That was the day after Thanksgiving… needless to say, I had to try out the recipe before giving it to others! All I can say is “Yum, yum! Wow is that gooood!” Since then I have checked out your site and used quite a few of your recipes, each and every one of them is delicious! Thank you so much for sharing so many things with us
Merry Christmas to you and your entire family!

This recipe is less labor intensive and you get to enjoy it sooner.

EASY MICROWAVE CARAMEL CORN

1 pkg. microwave popcorn (butter flavor is best, but not movie theatre flavor)
1 stick butter
½ cup packed brown sugar
15-18 large marshmallows

Microwave popcorn as directed and put in large bowl. Set aside.

Using a large frying pan or sauce pan, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar and mix well until sugar is dissolved. Add marshmallows and stir until thoroughly melted and a golden caramel color.

Pour marshmallow mixture over popped corn and mix well.

OPT: Add nuts or chocolate chips at the end.

ENJOY!

Just wondering… when you use the capital “T” as in Tsp, are you meaning Tablespoon? I got a little confused when I was making this because I had already put in a Tablespoon of salt and then I saw the 1/2 Tsp of soda and it kind of made me wonder if I had misunderstood. I ended up only using a 1/2 teaspoon of soda since I really didn’t know what it was for. It tasted good–like salted caramel so it didn’t really matter in the end. I’m just hoping you can clarify this for me. Thanks!!

Aunt Christys are the best I have one too and I love her! Your caramel corn recipe looks so good. My mom loves caramel corn and unfortunately I won’t be home for Christmas (it’s my first Christmas after getting married and we’re going to spend it with my husband’s family), but I’m going to make some caramel corn to mail to my mom. I would consider making some for Thanksgiving in a couple of days, but I always make Chex mix to snack on before Thanksgiving dinner’s ready and I already made the Chex mix earlier tonight! Gotta love the tradition of having something yummy to snack on while waiting, whether it be caramel corn or Chex mix
