I recently discovered that I love Orville Redenbachers® Ultimate Butter Popcorn. It’s very buttery, with only a hint of salt and no trans fat. Honestly, it’s probably the best tasting microwave popcorn that I’ve tasted.

Today, I came to the conclusion that since this popcorn is so buttery, it would probably make excellent caramel popcorn. So, my recipe search began!

Most of the recipes I found contained corn syrup, of some type. Since I’m currently out of corn syrup, I had to keep searching. I’m happy to report that my caramel corn quest finally paid off.

As it turns out, this is the easiest caramel corn that I’ve ever made. On the down side, I can see myself becoming totally addicted, to the stuff, in a very short time.

1 bag Orville Redenbachers® Ultimate Butter Popcorn
¼ lb. butter or margarine
½ c. brown sugar (I used dark, for a more intense flavor.)
¾ c. mini marshmallows (You could probably use marshmallow crème, as well.)

1. Pop popcorn, as directed. Pour into large bowl. Remove un-popped kernels.
2. Place remaining ingredients, in a heat-proof bowl. Microwave on high 2 minutes.
3. Stir well and pour over popcorn. (The caramel mixture thickens as you stir.)

That’s it! This yummy caramel popcorn is, neither, gooey or sticky. It has a soft texture and is very easy to break into pieces, once it has cooled.

I found a recipe that doesn’t require marshmallows, if you prefer to bake your caramel popcorn. It’s called Quick and Easy Caramel Corn. I’d love to hear from you if you decide to try either of these recipes, especially if you come up with a way to remove all the calories!
