That is too easy to make. Good thing I don’t have any popcorn in the house today.

Looks like a good holiday movie. So many talented actors/actresses.
Marietta says
What size of marshmallows or is it 5 cups? Sort of confused.
Chrysa says
It is regular, full-sized marshmallows. I just updated the ingredients list to make it more clear!
Sarah L says
Ut, Oh. I’m in trouble. This is simply too easy to make. I’m going to forget I saw this recipe.
Tanya Holland says
This looks so good. My husband would love this. I think I’m going to try it this weekend.
Robyn L says
should the popcorn be plain/no salt or butter? thanks
Chrysa says
I used no salt or butter, but I think it would still taste good with salted/buttered popcorn. I like salted caramel treats so the salt might be a good addition. I am going to test it out that way next time!

This has got to be the easiest caramel corn recipe ever. I love caramel corn by the recipe I have calls for a ton of brown sugar and corn syrup. Not the healthiest recipe. I love how easy this is to make. My daughter can help make it to give to all her girl friends for Christmas. Thanks for the recipe!
