How to Make Caramel Corn Pops
- Place a 28x18 inch piece of aluminum foil on a heat-proof surface and lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a heavy-bottomed 12-inch skillet over medium heat, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ¼ cup molasses. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue to cook and stir for 6-8 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer. Be careful, as it will bubble vigorously.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon butter flavoring.
- Quickly and gently fold in 10 cups of popped corn cereal until evenly coated.
- Immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared foil and spread it into a thin, even layer.
- While still warm, gently break the caramel corn into clusters.
- Let the caramel corn cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy!
