It was hard to get an even coating over the popcorn, even in my biggest pot. I ended up with about 2/3 of the popcorn with coating and the other 1/3 plain. The flavor was super sweet and once it cooled, had an unpleasant texture in the mouth. My 3 year old and I only had few pieces before looking for a different snack.

Oh, my, wasn't this just delicious. Very few ingredients needed, I made it just as stated and it turned out terrifically. I'll definitely add vanilla and brown sugar next time as previous reviewers have suggested. But it's great made just as it is. Mmm-MMM. Thanks for the recipe. :D

This was fantastic and quick! I did add about 1/2 tsp vanilla to the sugar sauce. I also popped regular popcorn and then buttered & salted it to try to approximate buttered microwave popcorn. I then removed as many of the "old maids" I could find so we didn't go crunching down on them. I found that by putting the popcorn in a LARGE bowl the sauce seemed pretty evenly distributed.

This is great! Thanks -- I have been looking for this recipe for a year! The whole family loved it! It's not a sticky sort of popcorn treat and it's not quite like the hard-tack carmel corn. It's a sugary crispy texture that really is addicting. I agree that it is a little too sweet as written but we just added a lot more popcorn and it was perfect! I think you could put 9 cups or maybe even more with one batch of the syrup. We also used popcorn that's buttered & salted, and that makes a difference as well-- This recipe would be great with microwave popcorn. You can also put this over corn puffs (not the cereal -- the kind that are sold with the chips. They're like Cheetos without the cheese) and that makes a fun treat without all the choking hazards and hard pieces.

Easy snack. I used both brown and white sugar,like others suggested, and popped into oven for 5-10 minutes. I doubled the recipe, but it was still devoured in two days.

The flavor of this popcorn (using Splenda) was really nice, but I think I made an error in mixing the syrup and popcorn. I scooped the popcorn into the pot a little bit at a time which resulted in some very soggy pieces while others didn't get any coating at all. Next time I'll pour it all into a larger bowl to cook.

I made 3 bags of microwave popcorn. I put the following ingredients in a microwave safe bowl: 3 (1/4) cups of water, 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 1/2 cups of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of white cornsyrup, and a handful of chopped walnuts. Microwave for 3 minutes at a time, remove & stir. Do this till mixture boils. (About 3 times). Put popcorn in very large bowl. Pour mixture over popcorn & mix well with a rubber spatula.

Fast, easy, delicious! Hardest part is cleaning the pan! This does not need to be baked at all, it crisps up on it's own. I used one whole bag of movie theater butter popcorn, about 8 cups, I recommend picking out all the seeds before coating so you don't have to pick them out later when the stuff is hardened and stuck together! Next time I may add peanuts to this great caramel corn!

I used a bag of extreme butter microwave popcorn, keeping the other ingredients the same. I used raw sugar & love the flavor it added. After I coated the popcorn I layed it out on a baking sheet sprayed w/ Pam & baked it @ 300 for 5 minutes, stirred & baked for another 5 minutes to crisp it up some. My hubby ate every last kernel!.

Didn't really care for this. I used half white and half brown sugar. I wasn't sure if you were supposed to stir it while it was cooking so I did stir because I was afraid it would burn. The sugar syrup made the popcorn kind of soft. I perfer it to be crunchy. Maybe baking it like you do caramel corn would make it better?

This is very similar to what my dad made. We did it in the microwave in a large coffee mug. Cook it about 3 minutes, after the 1st minute stir it every 20 second or less so it dosen't boil over. Instead of pouring the popcorn into the mixture we spooned it over the popcorn in a large bowl and stirred it after every 5 or so spoonfulls so it was evenly coated.

The sugar may need boiled a little longer than this recipe says, mine still turned out a bit grainy.

This was exactly what I was looking for: cheap, easy and simple. My kids thought it was very yummy. Like other readers I did 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar. I also added a half teaspoon vanilla after the 4 minutes of cooking, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, (because I used plain popcorn. I will definitely make this recipe again.

Absolutely magnificent!! My mother loved them. I popped a half a cup of white popcorn kernels over the stove (I never use microwave typw anymore!) and instead of white sugar, I used about 3/4 light brown sugar and 1/4 dark brown sugar. SO TASTY!! I made them yesterday and am making them again today with pecans and walnuts!! This is a great recipe to really try and make your own! Don't be afraid to try some new twists with this recipe!
