How to Make Perfect Caramel Popcorn | Cupcake Jemma 

REALLY GOOD RECIPE!!!!! (helpful tip: to clean the pot,boil some water,add to the pot and continue boiling until the sugar/caramel is dissolved)

*Instructions Unclear* I ate half of the popcorn, while the sugar was getting caramelized.

This woman is amazing but giving measurements in grams and mililiters makes her even better lol

Worked for me. All you need is patience haha The only challenging part was to not finish off the popcorn while the sugar was getting caramelized. Thanks for the recipe!

FOR EVERYONE IN AMERICA, HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS: 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp oil 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp popcorn 1 tsp salt 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp water 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp butter

People who have failed at this either didn't measure their ingredients, or mixed the sugar syrup too much causing it to crystalise. Add water to the pan then carefully pour the sugar into the centre. Start heating it without mixing (any stray sugar crystals on the side or spoon can cause crystallisation), until there is any indication of browning. Turn the heat to the lowest possible and monitor it carefully, gently mixing with a wooden spoon. When it is seconds away from the ideal colour, add the butter and stir. Once combined, immediately remove from the heat and pour.

It's been over 3 years and I always come back to this recipe! ALWAYS ALWAYS! Thank you Jemma! xxx

Who' s just here because they are in quarantine and really wanted to eat caramel popcorn but can't go out to buy it so they have to make it? Just me? Edit: omg thank you so much for 100 likes, tbh i have never gotten as much likes for my comment Edit 1: thx for liking my comment. I can't believe I got 666 likes! Edit 2: lol, it's been 7 months. TYY for 1K likes!! I feel famous now 😂

I made this before a few months ago and it was absolutely delicious! Then after I made it another five or six times and it tasted great each time. I am now going to try it again and see if I can succeed this time, thanks for the great recipe Jemma!

Today, after 3 weeks of the making of caramel popcorn, I made my first batch. Great recipe and easy to make. Thank you!!! I am delighted.

Woman: *gives exact measurements in grams and milliliters* Me: making caramel popcorn at home eyeballing everything while thinking: meh i already know im gonna end up burning the house down so why bother trying to make this taste good.

Just made this amazing caramel popcorn! I used sweet microwave popcorn instead of plain kernels in the pan. You have to be quite patient with the caramel making. I used plain white sugar and thought that it wasn’t working but I kept my hopes up and OMG!!! It took around 10 minutes for the caramel mixture to turn that golden amber colour. Will DEFINITELY be making this again! 😋😋😋

Your are so ENERGETIC and you easily pass that energy to your viewers. You make everything seem so easy and simple. I'm from Armenia and after watching U for about 2 hours I can say that I am a huge fan of yours. Thanks for your videos.

Awesome recipe Jemma, I followed it to a T and got perfect crunchy like-at-the-movies caramel popcorn. This one's a keeper!

Hey guys if you struggle making this I’ve got a bit of an easier recipe? Ingredients •just under half a cup of sugar •1 table spoon of butter •Popcorn “How to” First I pre make my popcorn and set it to the side. Then I take my butter and let it fully melt once melted I add my sugar and stir it in and leave it till I see progress in the sugar melting then start stirring until all the sugar bits have been fully melted and there is a decent amount of color to the caramel. Then I poor it on my popcorn and done!

It's not only the popcorn who's perfect, it's also You !

Thank you for the simple recipe! I made this for all of my friend who were studying for exams. A really great pick-me-up!

Excellent guide. Proportions are great. I recommend having it on medium to high heat with the sugar. Once the sugar starts to colour, let it colour for around 1-2 minutes more, depending how dark it gets. Then put in the butter, and switch the heat to minimum, and stir in the butter till it colours nicely and smooth. Depending on your stove, all of the sugar may not colour. This is okay, as when you mix in the butter it will fully colour.

The recipe is absolutely amazing, perfect and delicious 😍😍😍 i used the exact measurements but i add 1 teaspoon of baking soda after the butter because i saw others doing so and it turned so well most of the popcorns got coated and they are not so hard to peal apart but still crunchy and satisfying 💙💙💙💙 i love it, you are amazing 💙💙💙

This is definitely one of the best cooking channels on RU-vid. Very good instruction and very easy to follow.

Can I give a quick small tip? If you hadd half a teaspoon of baking powder after you melt the butter in the caramel, it creates a super fluffy caramel that's easier to spread across your popcorn as it doesn't sag to the bottom of the bowl as easily

"Too easy to not give it a go?" I burnt my caramel! Lol....

I tried it the second time today and wow I am so proud of what it became! It is sooo crunchy, so caramelly and lovely and yummy! Next time I'm gonna put some sea salt in it to balance the taste since I used an unsalted butter. Thankyou so much for the recipe, Jemma!

I just tried this recipe today and OH MY GOSH!!! It’s delicious and perfect! Caramel popcorn is my weakness when it comes to snacks.. I can eat a bucket of it in one sitting!

This recipe is just amazing! Now I'm always in charge of making the pop corn for the movies jajajaja! One suggestion for everyone who just love sweet and salty mixes, instead of adding butter to the caramel y like to use creamy peanut butter (in the same proportion as it says in the recipe). The result is a gorgeous nutty caramel pop corn you won't regret!

I just made them a few minutes ago & they are perfect! Love from Malaysia :)

i tried this and it’s amazing. its the easiest caramel recipe and it’s so delicious!!

OMG ur the best I've tried multiple recipes to get the perfect caramel popcorn and now you've given me the perfect one thank you so much for your efforts I love you so much take care

I just made them they turned out AMAZING!! THANK YOU!❤️❤️

Best caramel popcorn! I’ve made it over and over again and every time was really successful.

I have made this recipe a few times and it’s really good. I recommend using brown sugar instead of white. White sugar works aswell, but if you have brown sugar at home, it will really make a difference! Thanks for the recipe Jemma

She deserves more recognition❤️👏

I love this way. This my first time doing attempting and it came out perfect. I will always make it this way.😊

I always make my pop corn in high heat. Apparently, I live on the edge :D

After watching many of your recipes , I know a thank you is not enough but thank you so much for such great recipes. And also you got a great sense of humor.

Here is my own recipe, maybe you like to give it a try. Poor in a sauce pan 3 Tablespoons of vegetable oil, 3 Tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of clear honey and warm it up til the sugar is completely dissolved. When reached that stage, pour in your popcorn and give it a good stir on high heat, make sure every popcorn is coated. Then put on the lid an keep shaking as soon as the popping starts til everything in your pan has popped. It tastes just like popcorn you can buy in german cinemas

Looks awesome! And can I just say, I absolutely love your tattoos! I have a few myself, but I'd like more.

OMG, SOOO good. I can’t believe it. I’ve been always wanting to attempt to make my own caramel popcorn, but i was scared to (boiling sugar), but I did it and the popcorn 🍿 is so good....amazing. Taste soooo good. Wow. Thank you so much 😊

Made this recipe several times now. Worked perfectly for me! Thank you jemma

Made this and it was DELICIOUS! Thanks for the easy tutorial! :)

tried it right away after watching and it tastes amazing! 😍 though I just made half the quantity of the caramel so it would not be too sweet - well after burning the first batch of caramel I ended up using the actual amount anyways 😂🙆 note to myself: if it starts to appear to change the colour to amber, do not leave it alone 😜

Tried this last night, thought I would fail at making caramel, as always, but it turned out great! Thank you so much for the recipe. The popcorn was crunchy and the caramel perfect!

Actually it was my first time to eating caramel popcorn. And I did it by myself ! Delicious, awesome !

I always use the lid of the pot to calculate the amount of popcorn to use. Saves getting the scales out if just adding salt/icing sugar 😋

Just made this now!!! It was perfect!😁😁 and yes you need to have a lot of patience.😉

I’ve made this multiple times and it really is super good, I would absolutely recommend it

I tried it for the first time and it was a mega success! The whole family loves it!

i added about 1 rounded tablespoon of gochujang (korean pepper paste) to the caramel and it taste great!! good combination of sweet and salty and spicy.... people, please try it ^^

2021 Checking in to report that after failing Gordon Ramsay's recipe twice, I tried this one and nailed it on the first go. Thanks Jemma!

Tried it the first time. And it's Tasted amazing. It made the quarantine bearable and you have all the time to make your own popcorn. Thank you!

The most delicious butterscotch caramel tasting popcorn I've ever tasted. Jemma u are the best.

In the middle of making it with my little sister! It smells amazing :D I cant wait to taste it!!!!

just finished reading all the comments, only 1% of the people were successful... I belong to the other 99%

I tried it and it turned out amazing! Forever grateful ❤️

This is THE popcorn recipe. It didn't burn, it was the perfect flavor and it was crunchy. I'll recommend it to everyone. Best popcorn I've ever made.

I made this it was really good thanks a lot for the recipe

she make just the perfect and simple ways to cook 😘😍

Caramel took some time but the result...... Incredible! Thanks for the recipe!!

I just wanted to say thank you for the recipe. I made it today.. and it soooo good

Thanks so much for this Jemma, I really enjoyed it, it's so yummy yummy :D

straightforward, 4min video, my fav, since i dont like wasting time watching people talk nonsense hahaha welldone

Did them. Totally worth it. Just like the ones I used to buy. Thanks for the recipe 😍

I tried this recipe today. It was easy and perfection! Thank you so much for this. It was so helpful and delectable.

tried this tonight. it was a bit of a disaster ^^; I burned the first two batches of popcorn(gave that to my parents), and my first batch of sugar crystallized. Turning it up to a medium-high heat fixed that problem, but i was trying to cook like 3 things at the same time (typing this the day before thanksgiving) so scrambling to get the caramel onto the popcorn and then onto the tray to cool was quite hectic. But yeah I dunno if my stove top is different than Jemma's, but if you try this and your sugar crystallizes, try turning up the heat, because the second time i did this it turned out perfect.

YASSS going to make these for Eurovision

I just try it now I swear it’s so amazing and it works you just have to be carful with caramel 😍😍😍😍

I love this video. Why? Well it's literally how I discovered CupcakeJemma and I'm just so glad I did!

can’t believe I absolutely failed this

I tried it and I'm sure that it could be delicious! I only thought that it was a tablespoon salt. 😅 Oops! Now I can tell you: "Don't do that!" Better next time?

I made this for my sister, and she LOVED it! I had a little bit of trouble in doing for the first time, but I nailed it for the second time

I just did it and it was absolutely scrumptious! Thank you.

The first time I made this I burnt the caramel, but I attempted to make it a second time and it was perfect!

1:50 if you’re a lazy flip and wanna see how the caramel is made

this is sooo coool!!! had wasted 50 mins for such an easy thing. thank you❤

I am happy that I just done popcorn for my family. We all enjoyed the sweet treat. 🙏🍿😋

Im in quarantine and just made this, absolutely delicious! I loved it so much, super easy to follow 🤤

I used to make the werther's caramel popcorn at disney world and just a little tip to try out (If you haven't yet): Try adding baking soda to the caramel before adding in the popcorn and stir it in for a bit! It'll fluff up the caramel, which makes it easier to coat the popcorn (you can then also just add the popcorn right into the pot and mix it under) and the popcorkn won't be quite as sticky but also very crunchy! xx

I just made it! Really excited about it cos' this is my first time making popcorn and it's absoluty like cinema sold popcorn🍿🍿👍👍👍 Popcorn with this caramel sauce is perfect match. Love it so so much and thanks so much

Remembered this video while wanting caramel popcorn to snack on while pulling an all-nighters for a thesis 😅. Thank you Jemma for taking care of the snacking needs 😊

this is how long it takes to get the amber color

These are really nice popcorn

It worked. Some tips, put the stove on slow heat (when you add castor sugar and water) I used castor sugar I can't advise on brown or white sugar. Be patient, patient, patient. Don't put aromat as your seasoning, it just tastes weird with the caramel. On a low heat I can say it took over 40 minutes. Once the amber colour came, I add the butter and a pinch of bicarbonate of soda. And stirred continously until it looked like caramel, poured it over the popcorn (Don't eat all the popcorn while you wait). While waiting for the caramel to form I boiled water in the Kettle (this was to clean the put) I poured the boiling water into the pan to avoid the pan being to hard to wash. I stirred using a wooden spoon till the caramel coated all the popcorn and transfered into tray to cool. I than clean everything up, poured hot boiling water into the bowl I see to mix. You must know while stirring the pot a bit of caramel spilled onto the stove. That is very hard to remove off the plate. Once cool, it become one plat piece stuck together, I broke it into a bowl.

Of all the recipes for popcorn caramel, I love this! 💕

I love all of the recipes you put up...but my waistline does not! Ha ha! :)

Surprisingly success.....was also my first time attempting this

I just did it and it works!! Thank u for the recipee (1st timer)

I absolutely love caramel popcorn and will definitely try this out. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber.

After having a bad history with making caramel (burnt every time) , I was worried this wouldn't be good but it turned out perfect and I brought it to school for food fest (and it sold out completely) 😃

Can you do a tutorial on your eyeliner?😂 It looks so good👌🏽

Wonderful! I added a bit of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract before adding the butter. then added 1/2 cup toasted pecans to the popcorn before the candy hardened! Delicious!

A really delicious recipe, I try it and all my family love it💜 Thank you Jemma, always love your channel

I remember watching this three years ago and gaining like solid 8 kilos after months of everyday caramel popcorn :"")

Can someone please help me, I used refined sugar and it did not reach an "amber" color so I waited till it reached a gold ish color, then I added butter and waited for it to turn golden and thin but it took too long so I just stopped and added it to the popcorn, it ended up tasting bitter I guess the "caramel" was overcooked? I also ended up burning my hands :(( it hurts and the popcorns taste like failure

Made this yesterday and it came out perfect! Thanks loads!

I’ve never been able to pop popcorn this well. Thank you!

im watching this whilst eating toffee popcorn 😂

Guy's I am in quarantine and am so bored so i tried this and its works its really good ,if your in quarantine you should try this;)
