Always a crowd pleaser, this chocolate caramel popcorn is easy to make and very addicting. Make a batch for your next party. Also a simple tutorial for popcorn cones (holders). T
No sports game or show is complete without snacks! Today I’m sharing the caramel corn recipe that I have used for over 12 years—with a twist! We drizzled chocolate over it and (I can’t believe I’m saying this) it made it even BETTER! Served in paper cones, it is the perfect portion size for snacking on during the big game.
Paper Snack Cones
Brown kraft paper
Double-sided Tape
White masking tape or washi tape
Scissors
These cones are meant to resemble a football, so use the white glitter tape to create the stitching on the center of your paper. I love how versatile the tape is. It sticks to many different surfaces and worked great for this project!
Apply a piece of double-sided tape to the back. I like that it has a removable adhesive backing. Peel the backing off and roll the cone so that the ends meet up and over lap about an inch. Press firmly.

Game Day Chocolate Caramel Popcorn Recipe
Combine butter, sugar, salt and karo syrup in a medium saucepan and heat over med-high heat. When bubbly, set timer for 5 minutes and boil, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and add baking soda. Stir.
Pour caramel mixture over popcorn in the roasting pan. Give it a nice stir to make sure the popcorn is coated evenly.
Bake at 200 degrees, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Pour out onto waxed paper in a single layer and cool.
Melt chocolate in the microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until smooth. Pour into a small plastic bag, cut off one corner, and drizzle over caramel corn. Let sit until chocolate has hardened.
Break up the chocolate caramel popcorn chunks and store in an air tight container.

It seems there is a step missing after you add the baking soda. Please clarify the next step which I presume is pouring the caramel mix over the popcorn. Do you mix it up? Do you bake it in the roasting pan?
Brandy says
Yes! Pour caramel mixture over popcorn in roasting pan, give it a nice stir to coat evenly, and bake. Thanks for letting me know!

Do you have to use air popped? I don’t have an air popper. We pop corn in a large pot.
Brandy says
Nope! Any kind will work. You can even use microwave popcorn!

Have you made any other kinds of popcorn? I’ve made cinnamon candy popcorn—very good!
Brandy says
We’ve done cookies and cream popcorn, white chocolate popcorn, and a few others but I haven’t ever tried cinnamon candy popcorn. That sounds divine!
Kam says
Popcorn was good but too salty for me (I used microwave popcorn), I’ll leave the tsp of salt out next time, plus the butter has salt.
