This caramel popcorn recipe is simply fabulous! It's simple, affordable, and delicious! I've included ALL the details in how to turn your sweet and salty caramel popcorn into an adorable favor. WARNING: This recipe is highly addictive. Recipe adapted from Allrecipes.com. |
- on a baking sheet and place in oven.
I used Pop-Secret Homestyle popcorn. Place popcorn in a 250-degree oven to keep warm. |
Remember to pack the brown sugar in your measuring cup. |
Add brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup into a saucepan. |
Over medium heat, melt mixture to a boil. Stir constantly. Once the mixture begins to boil, stop stirring for 4 minutes. |
REMOVE FROM HEAT and add baking soda and vanilla. |
Toss with a non-stick spatula until evenly coated. |
Place popcorn into two baking sheets or cookie sheets. Bake for 45 minutes. |
Let cool completely. |
Break apart into pieces. |
Store in ziplock bags to keep fresh. |
To create party favors, you will need popcorn boxes, ribbon, food labels, a hole punch, and cellophane baggies. |
I found a FREE template for these labels from The Ticket Kitchen. I chose the soft yellow labels and added in "He POPPED the question!" I had the labels printed on cardstock at Kinko's and cut each label out by hand. |
I purchased these popcorn boxes on Etsy. |
Place a cellophane bag in each popcorn box to prevent the oil from the popcorn from staining the box. |
Using a measuring spoon, scoop the caramel popcorn into each bag. |
He POPPED the question! Congratulations to the newly engaged couple, Jon and Hye Jin! |

DeleteHI Jenn! I used 5 X 3 X 11-1/2 Crystal Clear Cello Bags from Papermart.com. I remember the size of the bags were rather large so I cut off the excess cellophane after I had tied the ribbon. So you can even order smaller bags if you wanted to. Hope this helps!
DeleteHello! How many Popcorn Favors were made using 3 bags of popcorn?? I am sooo doing this for my Engagement Party in August! :-))
ReplyDeleteHi! I believe I made approximately 12-15 favors with 3 bags of popcorn. Hope this helps and congratulations on your engagement!
DeleteThese are so cute, thinking about trying this for my daughter's engagement party. Do you know what size the popcorn boxes were?
ReplyDeleteHi Nadine! The boxes were 3" x 3" x 4". I ordered mine from Oriental Trading. They have an assortment of colors and I found were the most affordable compared to other websites!
