This looks phenomenal! Great call with the sea salt--I love cheddar and carmel corn mix (really popular here in chicago!)

So I put it in the oven on buttered parchment so it wouldn't stick. I put it in a 275F oven for 30 minutes, turning it half way through.

It firmed up a little bit but it still had that wonderful chewy and sticky quality. I took it to a friend and we munched on it in the theater while watching Julie and Julie. Love it!

Thanks,
Monica

Monica, I actually baked a small portion of my caramel corn too to see what the difference was. It did crisp up but it made for a darker harder caramel. It wasn't to my taste. But then again I'm not really a regular caramel popcorn fan. Which is why I guess I really loved the first version. Because it was more about the caramel than the popcorn.

Ah! Okay, I thought it was me. I wish I had know that and I would have made it this morning instead of last night.

I have the popcorn in the oven to see if it'll toast up a bit. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for responding back so quickly, I appreciate it!

Monica, this is definitely a treat that needs to be eaten shortly after it is made. The caramel on the popcorn is delicious but it is not a hard caramel coating. In fact the popcorn gets soggy if it isn't eaten fairly quickly.

This looks incredible and i've been thinking about it for a couple days so tonight I made it!

It tastes wonderful but it's soft and sticky. Should it be that way? I thought it would harden up a bit after it cooled but it hasn't. I cooked it to 240 degrees and the only thing I changed was to use dark corn syrup rather than the regular because I ran out, so I used half of each.

Any thoughts?

It's an honor to have you visiting my own kitchen. I'm following your blog, an drooling over every recipe. This one, in particular, catches my hungry eyes. I love caramel on just about anything. I can see my husband and I enjoying our newly empty nest, while watching a DVD and sharing a bowl of this.
Yummy!

I'm a huge caramel corn fan and know I will love this recipe. I like the addition of sweetened condensed milk. I'll never be able to leave this alone.
