Popcorn Recipes

Caramel Corn

Stores don't carry caramel corn this good. It's extra creamy and full of rich flavor. You'll find the Danish Creamery Butter takes this snack or dessert to the next level.

Ingredients

  • 6 quart unsalted popped popcorn (air-popped preferable)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole almonds or roasted unsalted peanuts (optional)

  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
