I have loved caramel corn since I was a little girl. I wanted to recreate the taste I remembered for Carrington but with one that was more crispy and less sticky for little hands. In fact, I would say that this recipe rivals a store-bought option.
The Secret To Perfectly Crispy Crunchy Caramel Corn
The secret to getting the perfect texture and taste is baking your topped and popped corn in the oven for one hour. You will have to stick around (pun intended) because you’ll need to shift the popcorn around every 15 minutes.
Would This Recipe Work Without Baking?
Yes, this recipe would work without baking however the heat from the oven will help evenly distribute the caramel.
This Vegan Caramel Popcorn Makes a Great Gift
If you have a party coming up this sweet treat makes a great home-made hostess gift or a thoughtful holiday present. are thinking of making a homemade gift, this vegan caramel popcorn would be a great choice.
