Caramel Popcorn Recipe

Thursday, June 7th, 2007 by The Cooking Guy

Last night, I decided to teach my 5 year old daughter how to make caramel popcorn. This would be her first attempt in making something all by herself. I decided on caramel popcorn because I feel it’s easy as well as good to eat.

We had a blast spending this time together and I suggest it to all parents. It’s a good way to have quality time with your kids as well as preparing them for life out on their own. She did a great job and I decided to share my experience and put the recipe online so others could use it to help teach their kids the love of cooking. If you have any other recipes that are easy for a 5 year old to learn please feel free to post them on this website.

Thanks, and here’s the recipe I used.

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb. brown sugar
1 cube butter or margarine
1 cup corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Popcorn

PREPARATION:
Bring to brown sugar, butter, and syrup to a boil; add 1 can sweetened condensed milk. I continue to cook for another couple of minutes, stirring constantly because it will burn easily. Pour over popcorn.

Of course, if you are not ready to put in some work, you can also get Microwave Popcorn. Seeing how the corn pops can be quite educational too. If you are interested to know how to make popcorn, read the article I have written at ezinearticle.com.
