This Crunchy Carmel Corn is the perfect movie time snack! It is so fast and simple to make, just watch carefuly for the last min of cookin in the microwave, i burned it for two batches befor i got it just right, also be sure to stir well! My plastic bowl actually was melted onthe bottem due to the molten caramel, but even accounting for those few thing this stuff is the tops!!!

So easy! We also used the brown paper bag in microwave and just shook it up. Much easier clean up this way. I ended up drizzling a bit of chocolate over it at the end of the cooling period. It looked like genuine gourmet popcorn! I can't really say about the taste since my college age daughter & friends stopped by and it suddenly disappeared! But judging by their smiles it was a hit. Thanks for posting.

Wow, this is remarkably delicious. I didn't measure my popcorn - just used 1/3 c. kernels on the stovetop, some yellow popcorn oil, and a couple shakes of popcorn salt to heighten the salty-sweet effect. I skipped the peanuts (for now). Use a big spoon to stir the corn, because that sugar mixture is napalm-hot. I can't wait to try some variations: maple-pecan, almonds with almond extract. This hasn't lasted very long in my kitchen today, and the microwave prep couldn't be easier! I have a 1100+ watt microwave, and I cooked the syrup for 2 min total and the corn for 2 min. The crunch is perfect and all the popcorn is coated.

made this to use as party favors at my nephews graduation party and had to make two additional batches for my family- we could not stop eating it! So simple, but so delicious.

I love this recipe and so did all the people I made it for. When microwaving the popcorn caramel mix I set my microwave at 90% power and stirred at one minute intervals, thus avoiding any burning. I plan on making many more times! Yum!

Great recipe! Easy, quick, SUPER YUMMY. It was my first time making caramel corn and I neglected to "recipe scout" ahead of time. All the other recipes require at least an hour of baking time - my family would not have lasted that long (it was family movie night). So I threw all the caramel ingredients in the microwave and then put about 1/3 cup (as one reviewer suggested) of corn kernels in my air popper and let the magic happen. After stirring all parties together thoroughly, I then spread the warm, gooey, yumminess out on a cookie sheet - pre-sprayed with Pam - and let it cool. Not too cool though - we ate it still a bit warm and nobody minded one bit. GREAT recipe Shely! Thanks!

Are you kidding me!? All in the microwave....in 20 minutes tops?!? It's true and it's awesome!!!! I used sugared almonds instead of peanuts the second time. Why would anyone do this the hard way?

My range needed repairing, so I tried this recipe since it's close to the recipe I have always used. Very, very disappointed because this was not crunchy - the coating was, but the popcorn was not. I will stick with the "tried and true" for this.
