Harvest Caramel Corn Tips
Here are a few tips to help you make the best caramel corn ever:
- Use good quality candy corn. I like to use the harvest mix candy corn, but you can use any type that you like.

- Be sure to let the caramel corn cool completely before serving. Otherwise, it will be too sticky.

How much salt should I put on the popcorn?
The amount of salt is going to be up to you. It’s best to add some and taste it to see if it is how you like it. Salt is an ingredient that everyone feels a little differently about. Some people love super salty food, while others prefer less, so it’s up to you.
How long will the popcorn last?
If stored in an airtight container, it will last up to two weeks. It should be kept away from direct sunlight or heat. That will make the popcorn go bad quickly.
Storage options
Store in an old popcorn tin, a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, or a large glass container. You need to use something airtight, so it lasts longer.
