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)
Ethel Shen thanks
Thank you I needed that,
this is helpfull, thx
thank you 👌😊
Thanks! I was looking for tips on cleaning the pot :)
*Instructions Unclear*
I ate half of the popcorn, while the sugar was getting caramelized.
Ummm i finished lol
Me too😂
Seriously!
💀💀
My popcorn is gone
This woman is amazing but giving measurements in grams and mililiters makes her even better lol
EXACTLY! 😂
Bingo
Awe man can’t she just put it in cups? But great vid though
AGREED!!
YES
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!
Lol this is me
😂😂😂

your welcome! any other recipes i should convert by youtubers who use grams/mls?
the wild one THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!! And do you know if we have to use Caster sugar, because I can only find regular granulated sugar? (:
yeah caster sugar is the same thing as granulated sugar. Any other recipes i should convert?
Thank you!! :D
Pinkie Pastel Your welcome!
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 didn't work I tried this recipe atleast 4 to 5 times. I cannot be wrong at all times right?
Shaheen Indorewala caramel is easy. No problem heating up at high heat at start for few seconds. Then lower the heat. when it starts to melt, silicone spatula on it, slowly just to avoid sticking. You can mix water enough to make a crumbly goo of sugar before starting with heat. Butter in the end. If you want you can add a pint of bicarbonate or baking soda to make it softer.
I think i messed it up cause i waited a little bit too long after adding the butter and it tasted burned but i will manage it this time
@@shaheenindorewala6103 What exactly went wrong?
Did you get early crystallization?: This happens when there are sugar crystals on your spoon or on the side of the pan, don't stir after the sugar has dissolved in your water.
Did it refuse to become brown?: Too low heat or just not enough time. This can take up to 10 or even 20 minutes depending on your stove, give it time and make sure it gets hot enough. Use a food thermometer if unsure.
Or did it burn? Too much heat, happens when you're impatient. Also, sugar will burn if you're not fast enough. Take the pan from the heat a couple of seconds before it reaches its ideal colour and add the butter immediately. The residual heat will keep on cooking it even after removal from the heat source. Happened to me way too often.
Did it refuse to become hard after poring?: Too much water, or too much butter. You really need to be exact with the amounts given if you do this for the first time.
@@ideljenny Thank you for letting us know it can take 10 - 20 minutes to reach amber colour. Going to try this again.
It's been over 3 years and I always come back to this recipe! ALWAYS ALWAYS! Thank you Jemma! xxx
Do you make the caramel with normal or caster sugar?
@@aliona1774 Normal!
Haha 8 years later and still a foolproof recipe :)
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!
😋😋😋
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!
Jordan Ugo Did it taste like caramel? it's just butter, sugar and water? It looks great though!!
Reja well caramel is sugar water and butter :P
+Reja lol those three things ARE what makes caramel.

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.
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 💙💙💙
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!
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.
who watches cookery channels for two hours straight. perv much?
+A M How does watching a cooking channel make you a pervert? I watched Tasty and the Scranline 6 hours straight once. I also watch Tasty regularly, and some days cooking channels are all I watch. Does that make me a pervert?
@*Nino* Hahaha :)
Awesome recipe Jemma, I followed it to a T and got perfect crunchy like-at-the-movies caramel popcorn. This one's a keeper!
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
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!
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.
What about popcorn
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
I agree...
I use baking soda as per most other recipes.
@@lynnclendenin2988
OH... that is right... Baking SODA not Baking Powder... WOW... that is a BIG difference... I thought he said Baking Soda... until you wrote your post...
Thank you LYNN
BAKING SODA... not Baking Powder.
This is definitely one of the best cooking channels on RUclips. Very good instruction and very easy to follow.
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 😋
I love this way. This my first time doing attempting and it came out perfect. I will always make it this way.😊
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?

Nasty popcorn ...water is a no no
i tried this and it’s amazing. its the easiest caramel recipe and it’s so delicious!!
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!
I just made them a few minutes ago & they are perfect! Love from Malaysia :)
Best caramel popcorn! I’ve made it over and over again and every time was really successful.
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
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.
"Too easy to not give it a go?" I burnt my caramel! Lol....
Me too!
me too.... me too
I burnt my popcorn
@@minnie3468 me too sis me too
Milan G and I also added too much water to my caramel
I just made them they turned out AMAZING!! THANK YOU!❤️❤️
I like to add a tsp of vanilla and a tiny bit of baking soda at the end...the baking soda makes its more fluffy and light and easier to coat the popcorn. Who doesn't love caramel popcorn!! YUMMY!!
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!
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.
SHOOOOTTTOOOOOOOOOOOO
looolz
@@MakeSushi1 What are you doing here:0
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 ^^
+fidottt omg that sounds amazing, I always have a tub of gochujang in the fridge so I will def try this!
+babybeluga let me know how it goes ok?? if you ask me, i'd put a bit more than 1 tablespoon /gochujang addict 😆
Great
Wtf is y’all problem that sound nasty asl omm
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.
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!
Girl, i got it right the first time. Then i just burning the caramel. I tried it your way and it worked! Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH ☺️ made it and it was amazing 10/10 and it was the easiest thing ever.
Looks awesome!
And can I just say, I absolutely love your tattoos! I have a few myself, but I'd like more.
Juliee Bee I was just thinking that! They look so pretty under the sheer black shirt.
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!
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 😊
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!
Thank you!
Sounds delicious 😋
OH MY GOSH... YOU are too smart...
Well, while we're at it... let's add peanuts too... YUM
It's not only the popcorn who's perfect, it's also You !
Lol
Made this recipe several times now. Worked perfectly for me! Thank you jemma
Thank you! The caramel technique work! Do not stir at all until you add the butter, but it's easier if you use an induction stove cause the heat is more even, thus there's no need to stir.
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 😜
San Dra can I just do the popcorn and put some honey....? taadaaa
@@terraplaygames1925 it doesn't taste the same tho
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’ve made this multiple times and it really is super good, I would absolutely recommend it
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
I just tried it and it's really good! Thanks 😊
You are welche! Im glad you enjoyed it :)
How much popcorn should i add one cup is enough?!
I'm sure she is talking about 1/4 of a cup. A full cup will render a gallon of popcorn. @@renassalahudden9520
Can i get d video coverage
I always make my pop corn in high heat. Apparently, I live on the edge :D
Everything turn black?
Same
Me too...
I just wanted to say thank you for the recipe. I made it today.. and it soooo good
Actually it was my first time to eating caramel popcorn. And I did it by myself ! Delicious, awesome !
Just made this now!!! It was perfect!😁😁 and yes you need to have a lot of patience.😉
straightforward, 4min video, my fav, since i dont like wasting time watching people talk nonsense hahaha welldone
Tried your recipe tonight and it was amazing. Almost better than store bought caramel popcorn.
Thank you so much
I tried it for the first time and it was a mega success! The whole family loves it!
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
In the middle of making it with my little sister! It smells amazing :D I cant wait to taste it!!!!
She deserves more recognition❤️👏
I tried this recipe today. It was easy and perfection! Thank you so much for this. It was so helpful and delectable.
I love all of the recipes you put up...but my waistline does not! Ha ha! :)
she make just the perfect and simple ways to cook 😘😍
I just try it now I swear it’s so amazing and it works you just have to be carful with caramel 😍😍😍😍
Caramel took some time but the result...... Incredible! Thanks for the recipe!!
I made this it was really good thanks a lot for the recipe
Thanks so much for this Jemma, I really enjoyed it, it's so yummy yummy :D
Did them. Totally worth it. Just like the ones I used to buy. Thanks for the recipe 😍
I tried it and it turned out amazing! Forever grateful ❤️
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
Stuart Foot Me too!!
Great idea! I'll have to make them too~~!!

The most delicious butterscotch caramel tasting popcorn I've ever tasted. Jemma u are the best.
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!
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!
The first time I made this I burnt the caramel, but I attempted to make it a second time and it was perfect!
Do you know how long does it takes for the caramel gets browner?
the only recipe that worked for me, i add a bit of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, it's so good like store bought, tysm!
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 😊
How long do we need to wait for caramelized I'm so tired of waiting
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?
this is sooo coool!!! had wasted 50 mins for such an easy thing. thank you❤
I just did it and it was absolutely scrumptious!
Thank you.
These are really nice popcorn
I'm going to try it now
Im in quarantine and just made this, absolutely delicious! I loved it so much, super easy to follow 🤤
I remember watching her videos all the time !!!
This was one of my favorites
I am happy that I just done popcorn for my family. We all enjoyed the sweet treat. 🙏🍿😋
this is how long it takes to get the amber color
im watching this whilst eating toffee popcorn 😂
thank youu soo much i just made them and they r soo good!!
Me quedó perfecto! Cuando haces el caramelo no desesperen , paciencia y toma color! Riquísimo! Gracias!
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
Yes... that is how I was taught too here in New Mexico (US)...
Thank YOU so much...
How much baking soda?
@@Ces911 if i remember correctly, we put 2 teaspoons in one big batch. So i believe half a teaspoon should do the trick for a home sized batch 🤔
I’m curious if the you used all the caramel you made. I just tried it, everything turned out perfect except that it’s waaaaay too much caramel for 90 grams of popcorn. I don’t think it’s question of taste, it was just way too sweet. We had to throw most of it away.
Same here, I only did 60 grams of popcorn and used 2/3 of what's came from the pot and now it is waaaaaaaaaay too sweet....
I love this video. Why? Well it's literally how I discovered CupcakeJemma and I'm just so glad I did!
A really delicious recipe, I try it and all my family love it💜
Thank you Jemma, always love your channel
Can you do a tutorial on your eyeliner?😂 It looks so good👌🏽
Surprisingly success.....was also my first time attempting this
Agree!
Salted or unsalted butter??
Made this yesterday and it came out perfect! Thanks loads!
GUYS, this is lit 🤩. I just followed every step in this video and my god the popcorn tastes frikin delicious 😍🤩🥰.
can’t believe I absolutely failed this
Me too
Me too
What happened hahahahha
@@eve.m1026 for me ...I burnt the caramel lol 😂💀 and it was awful
Me too lmao
1:50 if you’re a lazy flip and wanna see how the caramel is made
😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love caramel popcorn and will definitely try this out. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber.
I’ve never been able to pop popcorn this well. Thank you!
I remember watching this three years ago and gaining like solid 8 kilos after months of everyday caramel popcorn :"")
Haha.. relatable
