Just tried the recipe right now. they are spread down chilling. It's great. But, TIP: use the same huge pot for everything. do your caramel in it as well so that you put back the pop corn in it while it's still on the stove. makes it really easy to mix up everything and spread caramel all over the place nicely because the warmth of the pot keeps the caramel slimy.
The 'brain' look to the kernal is from using a specific type of corn, versus the typical 'sploded' looking style kernal....Garrett's (as well as, Nuts On Clark) use the 'brain' looking one specifically for heavier flavors because it holds the toppings better..... Im not some all-knowing popcorn addict. I just saw it in a documentary one time on popcorn 😂 Great video, as always, Adam and team!
Garrett's uses half "Mushroom" popcorn and half traditional butterfly popcorn in their mix. "Mushroom" popcorn is best used for coated popcorns because of its surface area and it holds up to mixing too. Ya can't beat this mix...yum!
@@berakiahboone5135 Exactly, they do use "air" popped corn. No, I must've missed that...I'll go check it out, thanks! Have a "popping" good day. LOL ; )
Coconut oil is a MUST! Way better than neutral oil. I jse a Whirley Pop, butter flavored coconut oil and Flavocal. Literally identical to movie theater. I grew up in Valpo (where Orville Redenbacher started). He was a client of mine. If doing caramel or cheese flavored, then use regular coconut oil, if the butter flavored is too much for you.
I have been making the glazed popcorn and using the Lorann Professional Kitchen Lemon Bakery Emmulsion. I have tried the strawberry but it tends to burn I guess due to the color.
Me.... I'm some people....I will not leave without it. I also will not forgive any so called friends or family members who have returned from Chicago, without some as a gift for me.

Anytime I'm in O'Hare (or Chicago), I stop at Nuts on Clark for the caramel and cheddar mix. Very tasty; however the last time the popcorn was old and stale. 😞
Are cheddar popcorn soft? Since they don't have caramel and you pour melted butter on them, doesn't the popcorn feel wet? Because caramel ones end up being crunchy :) Thank you!😃
I want to ask: in my country, cheddar powder is almost impossible to find. Can I substitute it with regular cheddar cheese that I melt into a liquid state?
Just two questions. What did you mean by, "GP?" And that what is your sugar and water ratio? In other words, how much sugar? And How much water? Finally, how much baking powder/baking soda did you add? Thank you!
@@naimae3973 Yesss 🙌 I just tried making some. But I put the caramel on first. Next time I’m putting on the cheese powder first. How do you reccomend I put on the cheese? Mixed with melted butter? Or a different way?
@@AdamWitt so how come in your short you use the cheese sauce but here it the powder if your going show how to actually dont use fake clip to make it and i know they use cheese sauce with mushrooms popcorn dont your gonna cooy and then just you made this version and it aint copycat version
That’s awesome!!!!! I work behind the popcorn factory in Lake Forest and man sometimes in the morning the smells are amazing!!!!!! I can imagine what your kitchen smelled like!! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Huh. Who knew. I've been making this for a few years but with Pop Secrets Caramel, Jolly Times The Big Cheese, and AMC's regular. I know it isn't as good as Garrett but I live in California.
You using the wrong sugar. Garrets uses brown sugar and corn syrup. I will not tell you the brand but with a little research you can spot it in videos here on youtube. Trust me the brand does matter cause not all brown sugar is created equally. Its owned by a major company who also produces brown sugar under their name. But for some reason it doesn't have the same flavor profile.

Been having Chicago cravings lately and popcorn popped into my head! No powdered cheese so I made a caramel/butter combo! This recipe works perfectly!

Woah, that's tight! Had no idea. Ty :)
Mushroom popcorn is what they use.
Garrett's uses half "Mushroom" popcorn and half traditional butterfly popcorn in their mix. "Mushroom" popcorn is best used for coated popcorns because of its surface area and it holds up to mixing too. Ya can't beat this mix...yum!
They also use air to pop and not oil. Did you see that same episode on Business Insider? Just watched it today.
@@berakiahboone5135 Exactly, they do use "air" popped corn. No, I must've missed that...I'll go check it out, thanks! Have a "popping" good day. LOL ; )
No its not a mix. All mushroom kernels do not pop into a pefect mushroom. They use mushroom for the cheddar also.
Thanks for the tip. I bought the mushroom kernels. I’m making it for my kids’ wedding reception.
@@maryjflanagan1922 You're so welcome. Awesome, everyone will love it. Who doesn't love caramel corn!!😁Congrats to the happy couple as well.
Thanks for teaching me how to make Garrett pop corn ❤
Thank you! I've been having a craving and haven't found Chicago popcorn anywhere this Xmas season.
Vegas has it.
I keep watching 6:03 over and over. I love that reaction.
Looks amazing. Can you link that universal lid with handle that you use?
Sure, here ya go - hestanculinary.com/products/thomas-keller-insignia-8-5-universal-lid?_pos=2&_sid=6f6c361b1&_ss=r
Looks good and easy to make! Will be trying....thnx!❤❤

I had a spontaneous craving to eat popcorn tonight, and your video popped up on my screen. It was like destiny.✨✨✨✨
LFggggg

Yummy! I love sweet popcorn but this looks good too
binge watching all your Chicago vids as a native 😩 restaurant pop up when?? 😁
I make my popcorn like that. Throw popcorn in a pot with some oil, cover it, turn on the heat. When it stops popping, it's done. Comes out perfect.
They have a store in VEGAS and when I say their popcorn is the best unless you make your own. Carmel Pecan is my favorite
Yep. Got a jumbo bag of the mix in Vegas last month. Yummy!

Thank you.
A readily available semi-substitute for cheese powder is just to smash up/food process Cheetos or another cheesy chip.
Thank you
Hi. I want to try this. Since not all cheddar cheese powder tastes good, can you tell me the brand that you used?
Great video!! Where can I find the cheese powder?
It look like that macaroni cheese powder you get in the Kraft macaroni and cheese box
Does it make it better if you put the caramel pop corn in the oven ?
Are cheddar popcorn soft? Since they don't have caramel and you pour melted butter on them, doesn't the popcorn feel wet? Because caramel ones end up being crunchy :) Thank you!😃
I just use the Mac and cheese powder to do it lol. I don't know if its safe but it tastes great
I want to ask: in my country, cheddar powder is almost impossible to find. Can I substitute it with regular cheddar cheese that I melt into a liquid state?
God bless you
Garrett's popcorn that as you said, "looks like a brain", is a popcorn kernel type called mushroom kernels. But it doesn't taste any different. 🧑🍳
Garrett's does not use powdered cheese for their cheese corn, which is what makes it so good.
Hi , how longer they stay fresh?
Just two questions. What did you mean by, "GP?" And that what is your sugar and water ratio? In other words, how much sugar? And How much water? Finally, how much baking powder/baking soda did you add? Thank you!
Ratio:1:1 - 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water
Oh and he said 1 tsp of baking soda.
@@genawatkins1029 1 cube of butter(?)
m.s.g is monosodium glutamate, idk why he called that gp
Gotta make this. Costco has a pretty good bag tho!
It’s a 6/10 compared to Garrett’s 20/10 😂
Is it a bad idea to combine the caramel and cheddar?? Like cover the caramel popcorn with the cheddar?
We call that cheddar kissed caramel in chicago
@@naimae3973 Yesss 🙌 I just tried making some. But I put the caramel on first. Next time I’m putting on the cheese powder first. How do you reccomend I put on the cheese? Mixed with melted butter? Or a different way?
Can you use microwave popcorn?
Chicago popcorn has 3 flavors in Canada. Carmel-cheese-hot spice
How much do they sell them for?
What brand of powdered cheddar did you use?
And Tks for all vids!!

The popcorn Garretts uses in a Mushroom popcorn
How come in the Short advertising this video the cheese popcorn is made with a liquid poured on top but here it's just shaken with the powder?
That’s awesome!!!!!
I work behind the popcorn factory in Lake Forest and man sometimes in the morning the smells are amazing!!!!!! I can imagine what your kitchen smelled like!!
😎👍🏻👍🏻
What Is the work of baking soda
Why use msg?
The taste is better ig
This not the same as the video link you posted. So what’s this recipe?
What’s GP??please
😋🤤
The kind or grade of kernel matters.
You got that cheese link?
Got you - amzn.to/43wcJ1S - it's an affiliate link (not trying to be sneaky)
Huh. Who knew. I've been making this for a few years but with Pop Secrets Caramel, Jolly Times The Big Cheese, and AMC's regular. I know it isn't as good as Garrett but I live in California.
Garrett’s is good buuuttttt… Mariano’s has the dupe for an 1/8th price. But of course, going to take it to the next level… And make it at home now!
Whyyy do you add MSG?? Like what does it do for the popcorn? I've heard such terrible things about it.
MSG gets a bad rap, it's unhealthy in large doses, like salt and sugar, but it enhances flavors in a way salt doesn't.
They air pop there popcorn then throw it in a big copper kettle with the caramel
You can’t beat CHICAGO CHEESY CRACK ( you don’t have that recipe) We chicagoans can’t be fooled
Garrett's popcorn look like a brain cause they are mushroom popcorn while the others are butterfly popcorn
I came here high af
Not to mention that it's probably like 80% cheaper. lol
What's Carmel, isn't it CarAmel?
It's still not Garrett's
You gotta make it ans taste it !!
aint no way. U rlly bought all those subs 💀
Lol, yeah it was like 5000¥
Looks like a bad version of UK toffee popcorn
my sister worked at garrett in the loop they had rats bad
You using the wrong sugar. Garrets uses brown sugar and corn syrup. I will not tell you the brand but with a little research you can spot it in videos here on youtube.

Why not just say the brand? Sheesh, it's not some government secret.
WAAAY too much SALT!!!
Chicago, windy, pizza casserole, high crime, and the bulls. Popcorn is not on the list. Sorry.
