I made this once and liked it, but it was a little too rich...so the next time I made it, I substituted in 1 1/4 cup of white sugar + 1 cup brown sugar and loved it!

Review per my nine year old son: " Man, this stuff is goooooood! It's gone in two seconds!" I halved the recipe and poured it over one bag of microwave popcorn. So easy and so good. I don't use any baking soda because the microwave popcorn has plenty of butter and salt already added. This is ooey gooey and oh so delicious.

LOL I can't stop smiling and giggling. If you are almost 10 months pregnant like me or otherwise hormonal and in search of something sweet, gooey and downright sinful than this is for you! I did make some minor changes based on what other people said about the flavor and things I just always add to my carmel corn but this was really really good! I think there are just a few too many food snobs on here. First I added half a teaspoon of salt and used salted butter. At the end I removed the carmel from heat and added some vanilla and a little baking soda (expands the volme for equal coverage and adds a lot of the salty flavor people said this recipe lacks) I will be making this again but because it makes so much I'll save it for the holidays or for when we have overnight guests. This will take a while to eat. Thanks for a yummy recipe!

Great recipe! I was looking for a caramel corn recipe that didn't end up like the stuff in the box with the prize. This was more like the microwave caramel corn act II used to make with the caramel wafer you melt over the popcorn. I made 1/2 the recipe, and it was a lot! I only added a splash of vanilla at the end of cooking, and it tasted great! Thank you!

This was absolutely fantastic! I think I ate it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner until it was gone. It does lose the softness, but a few seconds in the microwave takes care of that. I would definitely suggest spreading it out on wax paper or something before it hardens, or else it is impossible to pull some off. I will definitely make this again!

this is so yummy-the kids and I couldn't stop eating it!!! The only thing I did differently was I didn't add all of the caramel-I added to the point that I thought looked good and stopped there. It was exactly what I was looking for!!

I totally messed up the directions and it still came out good! I accidently put the condensed milk in at the same time as the other ingredients and so it just took a very long time for the caramel to get to the right temperature. Delicious!

I have tried all sorts of recipes for caramel corn lately. My mom made soft caramel corn when I was younger, but it requires golden syrup I cannot buy around here. I really do not like crunchy caramel corn. It reminds me of the boxed stuff. No thanks! This recipe was super easy and I was 100% pleased with the result. Better yet, I don't have to bake it! I did add some peanuts, though. When this caramel corn cooled down, I put it in small zipper bags and stuck them in the freezer. I can grab one for a snack, but I usually share it with the entire family. We all love it!!

When I cook I don't follow the ingredients exactly. In this recipe I cooked the popcorn on the stove, and more than the recipe called for, then salted it. I added the caramel to small amounts of the popcorn until it was as gooey as we like it. I do not have a candy thermometer, so I tested it by putting the caramel in cold water. Cooking it as long as it says was too long. It got hard too fast and that made it very chewy. The second time I cooked it til it made a very soft ball. This was much better. This does make a very large batch and is hard to eat the second day. Unless you are making this for a large crowd, half the recipe. I also added 1 tsp of vanilla. Yum!

I made this using only half the amount called for of the caramel ingredients, and added 2 tsp vanilla when I added the condensed milk. It came out perfect! If I had added as much caramel as the recipe calls for, it would have been way too much.

This was really good! I am 9 months pregnant and had a craving and looked this up. However, it was super rich and I ended up eating only a little bit, rolling the rest into popcorn balls and sharing it with my lamaze class! I would make a little less of the caramel next time...was a little too much for me!

I think I totally screwed this up. This recipe needs to be rewritten to state that 1/2c of sweetened condensed milk is needed instead of a can. Because I put in a can not realizing that it called for 5oz can instead of a 12oz can. So now I basically have roater pan full of mess. I am glad I made this early instead of planning on taking this over to a friends house on New Years Eve.

I have discovered that I don't like soft caramel corn. It is so overly chewy and sticks to your teeth like none other. It's a personal preference but I think I will stick to non-chewy caramel corn.

This is a good recipe. I am one of those crazy people though that does not use a microwave anymore, so microwave popcorn was out. I popped my own. When I finished mixing it all up it didn't taste quite right. I realized it was missing a salty flavor form the prebuterd and salted microwave popcorn. Solution, salt your caramel corn after you mix it up. Go easy and salt to taste. Then it is great. A little sweet and salty. Yum
