Yes, we are going to be out of town for a few days and so we’ll be eating lots of hot dogs! No, I am so kidding! I’m not quite sure what we will be making so I just did up until Wednesday.
Ooh…now lets talk some CARAMEL CORN!
Oh, you guys….This is to die for yummy!
My Mom ALWAYS made this awesome caramel corn at Christmas time to give to friends.. It was our “neighbor gift”. We would help mom make it and we didn’t use a popcorn popper. We did it all on the stove top, and it is was so annoying, we would’ve rather been out playing in the snow than doing this! But, it really does make all the difference. AND I would consider it….the good old fashioned way! The funny thing is, I don’t even own a popcorn popper. This is the only way that I make popcorn now.
All I do is cover the bottom of the pan with canola oil. The oil goes about 1/2 way up the corn kernel. (I don’t measure) I add enough popcorn to cover the bottom of the pan without crowding the popcorn.
Cover the pan with a lid. DO NOT uncover it. When you hear the kernels starting to pop, slide the pan back and forth on the burner until it all pops.
Seriously… it makes the best popcorn ever.
Soft Caramel Corn
1/4 C. butter
1 C. brown sugar
1/2 C. light corn syrup
1/3 C. sweet Cond.milk
1/2 t. vanilla
5 Qt. popcorn
in the saucepan,combine,sugar corn syrup. Stir well. Bring to boil over med. heat and boil 1 min. stir in sweetened cond. milk stir until soft ball and add vanilla pour over popcorn.
Ooey…gooey..pure deliciousness!
If you want it more caramel-y you can use 2 1/2 qt. of popcorn too..have fun, adjust it to your taste!

Condensed milk?! This must be what mine has been missing. It looks sooo good!
I do love me some caramel corn. Thanks for the recipe. It is different from the one I use, I will have to try it.
