  • Yes, you can skip the corn syrup. You can replace it with honey or maple syrup or I've seen recipes online that just use butter, brown sugar, salt, and a little water. (Just fyi, I've made my caramel corn with half butter and half transfat-free Smart Balance and it came out great) Your question has motivated me to try a different recipe without corn syrup, too. I will post an alternative version if it works.

    Saw this recipe yesterday and I’ve already made it three times since then. I made a batch with pecans, one with almonds and cashews, and another with peanuts! They come out SO CRUNCHY and DELICIOUS. My whole family loves them. Thank you for the recipe!
  • @MsIchigo93 - I never thought of it but yes, I guess you could eat it without baking since that's how I make popcorn balls. However, it won't have the crispness or the rich caramelized flavor you get by baking it.

    Such a natural! And whoever does her food photos is talented, too. People who can teach and make it look easy and fun to do are truly gifted. Love the 🐊 grab!
  • @AbcDailyVlog - Sugar, butter & corn syrup are what caramel is made from. I just omitted the cream to keep it healthier. If you try this recipe, you won't be disappointed. You'll have a healthier and delicious caramel corn.

    I made this and it is delicious. Actually, I made it a few times. I discovered that it is way easier to use a "turkey roaster" type of pan because it has higher sides and makes turning the popcorn easier. Also, I put a piece of parchment paper on the pan, allowing ease of turning, plus easy cleanup. The popcorn is highly addictive, and I may have to go to a detox facility because i cannot stop eating it.
  • Jenny, you seem like a genuinely nice person and you can cook! Thank you for your informative and pleasant videos. This world always needs a dose of nice and good food. Carry on!

    I warm my popcorn in the oven for a few minutes near the end of the cooking of the caramel. I cover the popcorn w foil. The warmed popcorn makes caramel spreading much easier and takes less time. This makes way for covering every kernel too. Then, bake accordingly. Sometimes I even add small pretzels and dried cranberries. Yummy!
  • The baking pans I use in the oven for caramel corn/roasting vegetables, etc., are heavyweight aluminum-coated steel and are NOT non-stick. I don’t know the brand since there is no writing on them. My pots & pans are all non-stick and I don’t have any concern about using them as long as they have no scratches, so I only use plastic or silicone utensils in them, never metal or wood. Target has a great line of Calphalon pots & pans that I use that’s not cheap but way less than high end stores.

    "I know somebody who did that." LOL (Perfect delivery!)

    It’s my birthday and I’m locked in, I might treat myself. I been a good lady!
  • The saucepan in the video is my old non-stick Berndes but they are getting old so I'll be replacing them with the Calphalons from Target. I still like Berndes because it has glass lids for seeing your food but it's too hard to find, plus the Calphalon has glass lids too.

    My family and I have made this and it came out so well! We totally loved it! Thanks Jenny!
  • If you use the paper bag method, just clip a small hole in the bottom corner of the bag and the unpopped kernels can be shaken out.
