Oh my goodness! I'm sitting here eating this right now. I was craving caramel popcorn and there is another recipe on here I love, but it takes so long. This is wonderful! The only complaint I have is you can't lick the side of a paper bag. ;)

Really good. It's okay if you have dark corn syrup - it tastes just fine. The only thing is that you better eat it while it's hot because it will all harden together.

Flavor on this, excellent, but for some reason mine was soft. Once fully cooled I put it in ziplocs, but it never did get crunchy. Next time, maybe I'll try pouring it out onto a greased cookie sheet and then toast it up in the oven for a few minutes, but I don't know if that would melt the caramel off and ruin the whole thing... Since it was so easy and still tasted so good, I still give it 4*s, but if the texture was crunchier I would've given it 5.

IMO this is a 4 star recipe using margarine. If you use butter, it would be 5 stars. It makes a difference. The cooking time needs to be less; I burned the first batch, but it was easy enough to try again. Second batch was yummy!

Yummmmy!!!! I just made four batches of this as something different for our PTA bake sale. At first I was worried because I didn't have a brown paper bag. Worked out great using a big plastic bowl with lid. I used butter and air popped popcorn. As with any recipe using popcorn you should removed any unpoped corn. I shortened the microwaving time at the end to 45 secs. This turned out perfect!! Nice and crunchy with a lil bit of chew. The only problem was I ate too much when I was bagging and now have a belly ache. So worth making again!! Thanks for sharing!

It is very good and I like the fact that it will keep in a covered container. It is very sweet though.

This was a good recipe. I cooked 3 mini bags of kettle corn popcorn, and used butter in place of the margarine and added some pretzels and cheerios to the popcorn. It did not need the added 1/2 teaspoon salt. My husband and I were surprised at how crunchy it turned out. Nice!

I have used this recipe since I was a kid and have never gone wrong. I would not recommend putting the bag in for more than 30 seconds, but that is just me. Also, if you have baking soda that is OLD... don't use it for this. You want the new stuff so the caramel can "double"

LOVE this recipe, it's so quick and easy. After 4-5 times making it, I made a few changes: I used salted butter instead of margarine. I used 2 bags Orville Redenbacher Light popcorn. One minute instead of 1 mins 10 secs. After removing popcorn and shaking bag, I zap it another 30 secs-1 min for added crunch. SUPER!!! My first time making caramel corn-- my hubby and I ate a whole batch on Super Bowl Sunday, it's hard not to!

Wonderful! I wanted a caramely kettle corn, starting with 2 quarts of popcorn. So I cut the caramel recipe by 1/4 for 1/2 the popcorn. To get a little smokier flavor, I added a touch more corn syrup and an equal amount of molasses. I microwaved the 1/4 recipe of caramel mixture until it bubbled, then I stirred it, microwaved it for 1.5 minutes and stirred it again and microwaved it for another 45 secs. Like some reviewers said, pour it on quickly or the caramel will start to set and use a larger bowl as it will get quite hot and be tough to handle! It turned out wonderfully, smoky molasses hint and all. Making this with a cut-down amount of caramel to popcorn ratio makes this a caramel kettle corn that is out of this world.

Worked pretty well... caramel started to burn in the microwave, so you have to watch it (or smell it...). The taste was great!

I made the corn, followed all the directions and it was a TOTAL DISASTER!!!! Please tell me what I did wrong. Does the power of the microwave have any bearing on the outcome? Mine is 1500 watts.

Wonderful!! And so easy!! I've never made caramel corn before it and it turned out prefect. 2 3oz bags of popcorn is just a little bit more than 4 quarts. Remember to remove unpopped kernals so you don't have to worry about them while you are enjoying it! Everyone at my party loved it and ate it all up. Even my husband who doesn't like caramel corn loved it! An idea to kick it up a notch-add chocolate covered almonds!

This is awesome! I cooked the caramel for 3 40 second intervals for the first 2 minutes stirring in between and than 2 1minute interval and it came out wonderful. Even my husband who doesn't like sweets enjoyed this.

Easy and delicious. I salted the popcorn (popped in a little oil on the stove) and added sliced almonds and pecan halves. Made an awesome gift for my co-workers in little bags with bows.
