Recipe for Caramel Corn
 
2 Bags of unsalted microwave popcorn
In a small sauce pan, melt 1/4 cup butter-no margarine.
1/3 cup brown sugar
100 grams of unsalted cashews.
1 dollop of milk
Bring to a gentle boil then spoon onto small batches of popcorn to gently coat.
Bake on cookie sheets for approx. 30 minutes-turning once half way through cook time.
Allow to cool-popcorn should be crunchy like Crackerjacks
Some people like a bit of molasses, but the flavour isn't as sweet.
Enjoy!

Oops! forgot oven temp
 
Try 275 or 250 degrees if your oven runs hot like mine.

I couldn't help but notice there is no caramel in your caramel corn...

Clodfobble 09-10-2013 04:38 PM

Caramel is just cooked sugar.

I thought there was milk in caramel.

Pete Zicato 09-10-2013 06:52 PM

Ah. Just checked wiki. Two things with the same name. There's caramel and then there's caramel candy.

Its the butter and brown sugar together that makes the caramel's sweetness-getting hungry?

Meh...I could eat.

There's milk in the recipe above... although I can't say I agree with using "a dollop" for a liquid measurement. A dollop is what can hold together on a spoon and get plopped off with one good whack. That's what a dollop is.

You could probably substitute a "blup" of milk.

Gravdigr 09-11-2013 01:28 PM

I use the uber-precise "glug".

DanaC 09-11-2013 03:53 PM

Generally if using milk in recipes I use the imperial measure: splash
