What's the best way to make caramel corn?
Add popcorn and place in preheated 250 degrees F oven while preparing caramel. Mix brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil 5 minutes without stirring.

Which is the best brand of caramel corn?
Cracker Jack, the best known brand of caramel corn was invented and is produced in Chicago since 1893 when it was shown, of course, at the Colombian exhibition.

Why do you add caramel to your popcorn?
Since popcorn itself is quite bland in flavor, most of the flavor will come from caramel. As such, add some salt for a punch of flavor, but at the same time, don't make it too sweet or salty since there's nothing to counteract it. Second, the caramel should has the right consistency.

What happens to caramel when it cools down?
When you're cooking your caramel, it will look liquid. However, most caramels harden when they cool down. Fats (e.g. butter) might turn solid, but also, at the lower temperature, the water in the caramel simply can't move as freely anymore. This is a good thing to happen, it will help the caramel to set on your popcorn.

*Note: Make sure your chile powder is made from 100% chiles with no added spices like garlic and salt or it will ruin the flavor of your caramel corn. I nearly made this mistake once with Kroger chile powder but thankfully noticed it smelled more like prepared chili than plain hot chiles and sure enough, they had added the spices you would want in it if you were using it for chili (but not for your caramel corn!).
Divide the popcorn into two large bowls or put in a large tub that allows ample room for stirring so that you'll have no trouble coating the popcorn when the caramel is ready. Sprinkle 1 cup nuts over each bowl of popcorn.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the remaining ingredients, except for the baking soda. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once it begins to boil, stop stirring and allow to boil for 5 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. Stir well and make sure that no lumps remain.
