So popular at our house ~ I'm reposting because this popcorn is perfect for the holidays!

I first learned of the basic recipe for this utterly delicious caramel popcorn from my friend Em on her blog The Repressed Pastry Chef. Em's blog was one of the very first I began following, even before I started blogging myself.
Unlike some caramel popcorn recipes this one does not require a candy thermometer, you just mix and boil the simple caramel ingredients for 5 minutes, then stir in a little baking soda and vanilla and pour the mixture over the popcorn, place in the oven and slow roast, stirring occasionally until the corn is evenly coated and nicely crisped.
I am not a huge fan of caramel popcorn, unless it is exceptional, and I LOVE this version.
Crispy and light, not heavy or sticky. I think you might love it, too.
The recipe calls for peanuts (an optional ingredient), I used pecans this time. You could use most any nut you like.
The popcorn made according to the recipe is delicious, and is not overly sweet. Since I tend to prefer salty tastes over sweets, I took the liberty of sprinkling the finished caramel popcorn with Fleur de Sel. Perfection!
This is a delightful snack and makes a nice little gift at holiday time, too.

Oh my.....
Hi--can someone tell me how to find this site on Facebook? Found another Once Upon a Plate, but it wasn'tthis one...Thank you!
Mari, I am a salty girl too! This looks amazing! My very favorite food on earth is popcorn, but I would usually turn down any kind of sweet popcorn. With the added salt, I'll be making this. Why didn't I think of adding a great salt to caramel corn. YUMMY!
I have a couple of Christmas parties to attend this year, would't a big bowl of this tied in a pretty bow be a great hostess gift! Thanks for all all the inspriation!

Been down with the flu this week and have not eaten much of anything...this is the first thing I have seen that has peeked my interest. I am soooooooo making this!
Did you pop the corn on the stove top Mary? Or use microwave?
