The Clockmakers Caramel Coated Popcorn A Haunted Recipes
THE CLOCKMAKER'S CARAMEL COATED POPCORN (A HAUNTED RECIPE)
In 1921, a German born clockmaker quit his well respected job to open a popcorn stand in Chicago's Wicker Park District. The clockmaker's typical fare was freshly popped popcorn drizzled with warm butter and sprinkled with salt; but his favorite, and most beloved popcorn, was his caramel coated popcorn. The recipe he used to make it was given to him from his only true love, who tragically died four years earlier during World War I. The tattered and torn recipe, which was scribbled on the inside of an old playbill, was carefully framed and sealed in an exquisite frame. The clockmaker faithfully took the framed recipe with him everywhere he went. By the summer of 1924, the clockmaker's caramel coated popcorn had captivated the entire city's attention; everyone was frantically lining up at his busy stand to buy the sweet, sticky confection. A few months later, just as the clockmaker was preparing to close his stand for the day, a small fire ignited near the stove. The clockmaker instinctively ran out to call for help. When he returned, just seconds later, he remembered leaving the framed recipe hanging on the wall. The clockmaker quickly ran into the burning stand to retrieve the recipe, but he never made it out. When the fire inspectors went into the charred ruins to investigate the accident, they found the clockmaker's frame lying in a pile of smoking debris. The frame was in pristine condition; not a dent, nor a blemish, could be seen on it. However, the recipe was gone. The recipe for the clockmaker's caramel popcorn recently surfaced and is beginning to circulate around the globe. Unfortunately, many people think the recipe is haunted because it is believed that if your clock stops running after making the recipe it's because the clockmaker has paid you a visit in hopes of reclaiming his long, lost recipe. NOTE: This recipe, as written, results in a sticky, chewy caramel popcorn. If you prefer a crunchier caramel popcorn, bake it in the oven at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

CARAMEL POPCORN - NO BAKE - YUMMO!
This makes the most delicious caramel popcorn that you will be requested to make over and over. I've made several different versions of caramel popcorn- this is my version. This recipe makes a very large batch of popcorn but it will keep fresh for weeks if stored in an airtight container. You can add nuts of your choice as a variation to this recipe. My daughters say that this popcorn is better than sold at "Kernals". I use a very large boiler/stock pot to prepare the caramel. Use the biggest pot /saucepan that you can find. I add all of the popcorn to the caramel in the pot. The other option is to add the caramel to the popcorn-have your popcorn in a very large heat resistant mixing bowl. The larger the container used the better as you will need to toss/stir the popcorn into the hot caramel mix to coat

Steps:
- Pop popcorn and remove any unpopped kernals. Set aside. You should have approx 20 cups of popped popcorn.
- Place two or three baking trays or cookie trays on your bench top. You'll spread the hot caramel coated popcorn onto these later.
- Use the largest saucepan/stockpot or boiler that you can find. Add the butter, brown sugar and syrup.
- Over heat, bring to the boil and boil for approx 4-5 minutes. Stir fairly constantly with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat. Add the bicarb soda and the vanilla essence. Stir well.
- Add half of the popcorn and quickly stir to coat in the hot caramel mix. Add remaining popcorn and nuts(if you have chosen to add them as an optional extra). Stir thoroughly to cover the popcorn evenly. Work quickly.
- Spread the popcorn over your baking dishes or cookie trays. Break up clumps of popcorn with your wooden spoon.
- After about a minute the popcorn should be cool enough to handle carefully. Break up the popcorn to smaller sized pieces.
- As a variation you can roll popcorn into balls the size of a scoop of ice-cream and push them into ice-cream cones. Great for childrens parties. (The flat based cones work best for this- much easier to place on your bench to cool).
- Cool and store in an airtight container. Will keep for about a week (if it lasts that long without being gobbled up!).
- UPDATE: I made these on a wet and very humid day and the popcorn was 'sticky'. I haven't had this problem before and have made this popcorn recipe a dozen times. Placed in a baking dish and heated at 120°C for about 20 minutes. Stirring every 5 minutes or so. Really took away the stickiness and made the popcorn crunchy.
OLD FASHIONED CARAMEL POPCORN IN THE MICROWAVE!
My mother used to make caramel popcorn for us kids on special occasions, except she made it in the oven and it took FOREVER! This replicates the old fashioned hardened caramel coated popcorn. She got her first Amana "Radarange" and this recipe from a lady named Pat Tyner at church and our lives were forever changed... yummy caramel popcorn that was easy for mom and no waiting for us impatient, whiny kids. We've been making this recipe for many, MANY years. Posting the original recipe for safe keeping. I've added a few updates... feel free to do the same!

ULTIMATE CARAMEL POPCORN
I couldn't find a recipe for caramel popcorn that was just right. I've tried a bunch of different recipes, some had good flavor, but not a great color, some had great texture, but not great flavor. I decided to cobble-together the best parts of each recipe. This is the result, my ultimate caramel popcorn, yummy caramel popcorn that has great flavor, good color, and a nice crisp texture. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Set your oven to 200 degrees. Spray a large cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside. Also spray a large (very large works best) metal or ceramic mixing bowl with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the popcorn into the mixing bowl you just sprayed, and put it in the oven to warm. Warming the bowl and the popcorn up beforehand helps with getting an even coating with the caramel when stirring it into the popcorn later.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the molasses, corn syrup, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Once the mixture starts bubbling, set a timer and let it cook for 4 minutes, stirring occassionally.
- Once the 4 minutes is up, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda. The mixture will foam and lighten up. Stir until blended.
- Pull the mixing bowl with the popcorn out of the oven. Slowly stir the caramel into the popcorn. I find a rubber spatula works best for this. Carefully keep stirring until the popcorn is evenly coated. Do be careful, the caramel is really hot! At this point, you can stir in any add-ins you might like, sprinkles, nuts, etc.
- Pour onto the greased cookie sheet and spread out evenly. Bake for 1 hour at 200 degrees, carefully stirring every 15 minutes.
- Once done, pour back into a large mixing bowl. The caramel popcorn will still be stightly tacky. Stir the caramel corn for about 5 minutes or so while it cools, to break up large clumps.
