Sugary Caramel Popcorn

by Myrna

I use the exact same recipe and method every time I make my oven baked caramel popcorn but often I end up with dull sugary caramel popcorn instead of the dark glossy coating I should have.

Can you help me? This has been happening to
me for 15 years!! I just cannot figure out what happens that makes one batch good and the next batch sugary!!

I sure hope someone out there can give me help!

Not sure if you use margarine or real butter. I would suggest using real unsalted butter--it tends to brown better.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your suggestion. I do use real butter but not unsalted. What would be the reason for
unsalted?

If you use real butter, than I don't know why you are having the problem.

The answer to the difference in unsalted butter and salted butter--there is a higher water content in the salted butter. And it varies between sticks. The unsatled butter is pretty consistent with the water content.
