Try cooking your caramel to 300°F and then bake the coated popcorn at 250°F for about an hour, stirring every 15 minutes. This should help you achieve that perfect crunch!

Chewy caramel corn? That's a bummer! Try cooking the caramel longer to thicken it up, or use a sugar thermometer to ensure it reaches the right temperature. Also, make sure your popcorn is completely dry before adding the caramel.

Try baking it for a bit after coating to get it crunchy! Make sure the caramel reaches 300°F for the right texture.
