Caramel Popcorn is an American confection made of popcorn coated with a caramelized sugar. Typically a sugar syrup that is made by melted and heated until it browns and becomes thick, producing a caramelized sugar syrup. This hot candy is then mixed with popped popcorn, and allowed to cool. Sometimes a candy thermometer is used, as making caramel is time-consuming and requires skill to make well without burning the sugar. The process creates a sweet flavored, crunchy snack food or treat. Some varieties, after coating with the candy syrup, are baked in an oven to crisp the mixture. Mixes of caramel corn sometimes contain nuts, such as peanuts, pecans, almonds, or cashews.
Since I had made the Caramel Sauce so I also tried Caramel Popcorn from the stretch as I had the Corn Kennel in my Kitchen. You may consider to give it a trial, you may love it like I do.
