Has anyone tried making caramel popcorn from scracth?

Years ago when I was a 4-H Leader and teaching kids how to cook, we made caramel corn by putting all of the ingredients in a brown paper bag and putting it in the microwave. I am sure you can find the recipe on the internet. I don't have the recipe anymore. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend.

I haven't but my sister does all the time and it's awesome! She just uses the popped corn part though.....I think she buys them that way. No hulls then to worry about and it so much easier to eat.

You make popcorn, then make the carmel suryp with butter, brownsugar and Yyro Syrup or maple syrup. then you take a little of the syrup and poor it over some of the popcorn, start it into a ball and make it as big as you want. You will want to put butter on your fingers or it gets very messy.

I have always made my caramel corn from scratch. I prefer to use an electric skillet to do so, however, and since I no longer have one, I have not made it for a long time. This is a really easy and simple thing to make and I much prefer the gooey soft caramel that I make to the crunchy stuff that you buy. If I ever make the caramel again, though, I plan to try to find a way to tweak the recipe I use to make it a little less sweet since I have grown increasingly intolerant of sweet flavors. It's also a good idea to have a candy thermometer to use so that you can cook the caramel to just the right temperature, although I have made it without the thermometer. If you'd like a recipe to try, PM me and I'll find mine and share it with you.

I haven't tried, We usually buy one. And if we bought a microwaveable one it's normally those plain ones.
