Notes

  • Make sure to use unsalted butter so that the popcorn doesn't become salty. 
  • If you don’t want to bite into an unexpected kernel, then go for kernel free popcorn. Just go to the nearest convenience store, and look for popcorn labeled as “kernel-free.
  • To add your own spin on the recipe, consider adding some nuts. It will take the regular caramel corn puff recipe to the next level.
  • Consider adding a pinch of salt to the caramel mixture to add some depth in flavor. It will help balance the sweetness of the sauce and create a delicious sweet and savory combination.
