Oven Baked Caramel Corn Recipe
- 6-7 quarts white popped popcorn 24-28 cups
- 1 cup margarine
- 2 cups brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
-
In a medium saucepan, melt margarine. Add sugar and corn syrup.
-
Stir and bring mixture to a boil. Let boil for 5 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and add vanilla and baking soda. Stir until fully combined.
-
Lay popcorn out on two cookie sheets. (Half on one and half on the other. You can use one for all of it, but I find I have an easier time stirring if I use two.)
-
Pour caramel mixture over popcorn. Stir to cover the popcorn.
-
Bake in a 200° oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
-
Cool on foil or wax wax paper.

Hey Michelle, I saw this homemade caramel corn on the link party and it looks amazing! My husband won’t eat popcorn unless it’s sweet (he’s not a fan of the regular butter kind). But I know we’ll both eat this!
Oh my! This looks simply delish! I could die a happy momma now. Thanks so much for sharing. You are awesome!
Oh my! I had to make sure my son wasn’t looking over my shoulder when I clicked on this or he’d insist I make it tonight! Instead I will pin it to make this weekend.
Thanks for sharing on Tasty Tuesdays Linky.
Oh yum! You’re right, homemade caramel corn is the best! And yours looks great.

I love carmel corn! They used to sell boxes with little packs of carmel in it but I haven’t seen those in forever. I can’t wait to try this instead! Thanks for linking up to Snickerdoodle Sunday!
Oooh. I’ve never seen those but it sounds delicious. I was pretty impressed with how well this turned out. It was my grandma’s recipe and me and the kids ate EVERY crumb! Mmm
