Toss a bunch of this homemade caramel corn into an extra special jar and it makes a tasty gift to lift to your pal’s start residence. – yummy supper —yummy supper

I have been having a search for a whisk-to caramel corn recipe, and I’m gratified I gave this one a strive. I like that yummy supper has you pop the corn one after the other, then private the caramel sauce and drizzle it over the popped corn; the approach avoids the challenge of popping the corn before the sugar burns, which on the general happens to me when I made caramel corn. Yummy supper instructs you to warmth the sugar till it begins to smoke, which had me hesitate, since I desired to steer clear of having a burnt sugar fiasco. I brought my sugar to 280°F, at which point it used to be plenty bubbly however no longer smoking. If I made this again, I’d push 285°F; at 280, the sauce lacks that deep, caramel flavor. Yummy supper also tells you to drizzle the sauce over the corn on the baking sheet, then add peanuts, and then toss, which I discovered a chunk unwieldy. I merely mixed popcorn, peanuts, and caramel sauce in a extraordinarily mountainous bowl, then disbursed on the baking sheet, which worked mountainous. Lastly, discover on doneness: I wasn’t moderately obvious how I’d know the popcorn used to be carried out, so at Forty five minutes, I took the pan out of the oven to check. The caramel will silent search runny in areas, however I effect a few pieces on a plate I had chilled in the freezer, and they firmed upright up. Indeed, the relaxation of the caramel firmed as it cooled. In all, a mountainous recipe! —Rivka
