Caramel Corn Recipe

0 · · 5 Comments

Caramel Corn Recipe //  Hello Whipperberry friends!  Can you believe that it's December already?  It feels like this season flies by so fast…it's hard to take it all in isn't it?  There's just so much to do, and so little time to do it!  But I admit I love it all…the fast pace of the malls, the music, the gatherings and the goodies.  Oh my, how much do I love the goodies!  I might need a bigger pants by the time January rolls around!  Nah, holiday calories don't count right?!  😉

Speaking of goodies, I wanted to share a family favorite recipe with you today.  This caramel corn is actually my Grandma's recipe, and I remember my Mom making it for us every year…I always looked forward to it!  And now I make it for my family.  Don't you just love recipes that get passed down through the generations?  There's something so special about sharing a recipe with your loved ones that generations before you have been enjoying too.  Love that so much.

Anyway, this caramel corn is SO good.  Creamy, and chewy and delicious!  I hope you try it and love it!

Caramel-Corn-{A-Pretty-Life}

This caramel corn is also perfect for gift giving or simply just enjoying with your family during a movie night!  It's quick and easy to make and it's crazy delicious!  Trust me when I say this treat will get devoured.  I seriously could eat this all by my lonesome!

 Whisk

Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 8 cups popped popcorn
  • 1 cup pecans & almonds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pop your popcorn.  Then measure out about 8 cups and spread it out onto a large cookie sheet.
  2. If you wish to add nuts to your popcorn, you might want to toast them in a 350 degree oven for 2-5 minutes, watching them very carefully.  Toasting them brings out amazing flavor!  When the nuts are toasted, sprinkle them over the popped popcorn.  Set aside.
  3. Now on to the caramel!  In a saucepan melt the butter, then add the sugar and corn syrup.
  4. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  5. Continue to boil, stirring occasionally until the mixture turns caramel colored.
  6. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  7. Then pour the caramel over the popcorn and nuts.  Using a fork, gently mix, and separate into clusters.
  8. You can eat it at this point while it's soft and warm, or you can let it cool and enjoy it later.
  9. Store in a tightly closed container.

Deeeelish!  I hope your holiday season is full of cheer and much deliciousness!

Making the Holidays Sweet with Eagle Brand // KitchenAid Mixer GIVEAWAY

14 · · 335 Comments

KitchenAid Giveaway at WhipperBerry

This post and KitchenAid Mixer GIVEAWAY is brought to you by Eagle Brand™ // I don't know about you, but the holidays just would not be the holidays without some good old holiday sweet treats. Christmas morning lasts but a short hour or so, but… Holiday cooking and baking last the whole month long. Those are the memories that last for generations. I can't tell you what I received as a kid for Christmas when I was eight or nine, but I can tell you about the scrumptious goodies I helped my Mom make those years. I remember the flavors of the season and those flavors are what usher in those holiday memories each year.

Every year my Dad would get a box of chocolate covered cherries.  I loved those gooey treats! I'm sure I drove him nuts constantly asking if I could have one. I just adore cherries and when you add chocolate to the mix… It's a match made in HEAVEN!! 

I have since come up with a tasty dessert to share during the holidays that takes me back to childhood… 

Eagle Brand Chocolate Cherry Mousse Pie-4

If you love cherries and adore chocolate, this dessert is one you should try! Click HERE for the Chocolate Cherry Mousse Pie recipe.

Now, my Mom has always been a bit of the adventurous person in the family. We never stuck to the rules when it came to any kind of cooking or baking. When it came to Christmas, some years she liked to introduce a bit of Latin flair to our holiday table. We would have Soapapillas for New Years and she would make an amazing Flan for Christmas that I have adored forever!!

Eagle Brand Creamy Flan

If you haven't had flan, you are missing out!! It is a creamy egg custard sweetened with Eagle Brand™ Sweetened Condensed Milk and topped with a lovely caramel sauce that is to die for.  Click HERE for my Creamy Flan recipe.

So… what flavors usher in the holidays for YOU?
