Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups popped popcorn
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your Easy Bake Oven according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no unpopped kernels.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, light corn syrup, and salt.
Microwave the sugar mixture in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is well combined.
Add the vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and stir well.
Pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn, stirring gently with a spatula to coat all the popcorn evenly.
Line the Easy Bake Oven baking tray with parchment paper.
Spread the caramel-coated popcorn onto the prepared tray in a single layer.
Place the tray in the Easy Bake Oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, checking occasionally to prevent burning.
Remove the tray from the Easy Bake Oven and allow the caramel corn to cool completely—it will harden as it cools.
Break apart any clumps and serve your Easy Bake Oven Caramel Corn. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
