Grandma’s Soft & Chewy Caramel Corn

Grandma’s Soft & Chewy Caramel Corn is what I grew up eating. This is a classic recipe that is a true Malad, Idaho treat! This no bake caramel corn is my favorite!

Ingredients

  • 3 regular sized bags of white microwave popcorn or 1 cup popcorn seeds popped.
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Pop popcorn, remove seeds and set aside in a large bowl.

Line cookie sheet with a baking mat or non-stick foil.

In a medium sized pot combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil. Stir regularly

Once mixture reaches boil stage add condensed milk. Cook until soft ball stage (235*F). Stir regularly so bottom doesn’t burn.

Remove from stove and add vanilla.

Pour over popped popcorn and stir.

Pour covered popcorn onto cookie sheet and spread out.

DO NOT EAT right away as it will be HOT.

Once cool, devour!
