      W/Salaam, amount of popcorn is mentioned at the top of the recipe.

  3. Dear Fauzia, Can NOT thank you enough for this recipe! I love caramel popcorns and they aren’t readily available whereI live. These are, by far, the best I have ever had. God bless you!

  4. Just one question.. I have made these twice now. Mixing the caramel in the popcorns is difficult, as mine start getting clumped together. How to get them to be nicely seperated? Sometimes, they even stick to the dish and break off when I try to pull them out.

  5. Fauzia's Kitchen Fun Author says:

    Grease the tray very lightly with butter so they don’t stick. The trick is to work fast, some will get clumped together but if you stir everything whilst the caramel is hot they will separate.

  6. All right then, shall do that next time iA 🙂 I think you really should start a section for recipes for diet conscious ppl as well.. just an idea!

      I have never kept them that long, and would not recommend it. You can try but not sure how crispy they would remain in a week, even in an airtight container.

    What is my mistake

      Hi. Sounds like you kept
      Hi. Sounds like you kept stirring the sugar syrup even after it started boiling? That makes the sugar crystalise and harden. You should only mix until the sugar dissolves and once it starts boiling you should not stir it.

  12. Can I use the kernel popcorn
    Can I use the kernel popcorn natural flavour? Its a bit salty though

      It should be ok if you do not mind the saltiness.
