This recipe is based on Amish Caramel Corn. We’ve given it a honey roasted twist, but kept it classic and simple. It’s everything an Amish recipe should be, which really is just about simplicity and whole ingredients.
Can I use olive oil to pop the kernels?
When it comes to the cooking oil, you can use whichever you have on hand or whichever you prefer. Canola oil and vegetable oil seem to be the most common, though olive oil will also work.
Can I air-pop the kernels instead of cooking on the stove?
Definitely. Air popping will eliminate the 3 tablespoons cooking oil in the recipe.
Can I use store-bought caramel?
What makes this recipe so good is the made-from-scratch caramel. If you need to use store-bought, a good rule to follow is to avoid anything that comes in a squeeze tube, and that it must contain sugar for this recipe to turn out well.
