Caramel Popcorn Ingredients

Mmm. Looking at these pictures is making me want to whip up this caramel corn again tonight! I have all of the ingredients on hand right now, so this could totally happen. 😉 Sweet, gooey caramel popcorn in just a few minutes!

All you need is a bag of marshmallows, brown sugar, butter, and popcorn. That’s it! You’ll also want to decide if you want to make microwave caramel popcorn or if you want to pop your own kernels. The butter flavored microwave popcorn adds a nice sweet and salty flavor to the caramel corn.

If you do not use a salted or buttered popcorn, I recommend using a salted butter in the sauce or adding a pinch of salt in when you add the marshmallows.
