This easy to make oven caramel corn recipe is the hit of every party and will also make your house smell like heaven! You’ll love it!

I found this great recipe when I was sorting through the recipe box we saved from Matt’s grandmother.

It’s an activity I love to do for a whole bunch of reasons.

One, it allows me to remember her and the conversations we had when I was a new member of the family.

And two, I find some really good recipes.

Such is the case with this oven caramel corn.

It is super easy to make, makes the house smell like heaven, and is really tasty.

It’s great to keep on hand for all of the upcoming fall activities!

You’ll definitely want to keep a batch on hand for tailgating, fall parties and, of course, Halloween parties.

I love to serve it in these adorable red and white popcorn containers. But there are also some other great options such as these black and white boxes (so cute for tailgating, since they look like a referee’s shirt), these bags that look like they are straight from a carnival or fall fair, or these gold and white paper cups that are darling and great for a birthday party or girl’s night.

THE BEST OVEN CARAMEL POPCORN RECIPE:

4 quarts popped popcorn (1/2 cup of un-popped kernels)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup white corn syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

Place popcorn in large roasting pan.

Mix sugar, butter, syrup and salt in medium size sauce pan.

Cook, stirring until the liquid starts to boil.

Lower heat and boil for five additional minutes.

Remove mixture from heat and add baking soda.

Fold the liquid into popcorn to coat it. Tongs work great for this!

Place in oven and bake for one hour.

Remove from oven and cool, stirring a few times while cooling.

Nuts may be added with popcorn if desired.

Caramel corn will keep for several weeks if stored in airtight container.

    When do you mix the popcorn with the syrup?

      Mike — sorry if that was unclear. I’ve updated the recipe to spell it out more. This was a recipe from Matt’s grandma, so it made sense to me but obviously was confusing. I realize why I fit into his family so well! LOL!!!

    Can you substitute butter with olive oil?

      You can typically substitute olive oil for butter, but you need to use less usually a 3:4 ratio. So for this recipe about 1/2 of a cup.

    I was confused until I read it a couple of times. You never say “add the popped corn”. You say: Remove from heat and add baking soda, stir to coat. Place in oven and bake for one hour.

    I kept reading, add baking soda and stir to coat (what, to coat the baking soda?). Place in oven (what, the pan full of sauce?). Confusing, but funny (I knew you didn’t want the pot in the oven and you had to add the sauce to the popped corn at some point).

    You might want to fix the instructions.

      Thanks Claudia! I guess the recipe from Matt’s grandma made sense to me somehow but obviously was confusing. So sorry. Now I know why I fit into the family so well!
