Homemade Caramel Popcorn
One of my favorite snacks at sporting events or carnivals is Caramel Popcorn. At the Brooklyn Nets game you can get a variety bucket of popcorn that has in it Caramel, Cheddar and Chocolate popcorn. It’s a beautiful snack. What I noticed is whenever we get this Matthew and I are always fighting over the caramel popcorn pieces, so I decided why not make some homemade caramel popcorn with chocolate thrown on top? I mean seriously.. isn’t life always better with chocolate on top?
TWIX Popcorn recipe
This popcorn is insane. It’s happiness. It’s smiles. It’s OH LA LA. It’s sweet. It’s crunchy. It’s worth all those sticky dishes due to the caramel sauce. Trust me.
The caramel sauce you’re going to make over the stove is made out of dreams. Whatever was left in the pot when I was done I basically let dry and then scraped it up with my hands and a spoon and ate it because I’m classy like that. Oh and the TWIX Bites you’re going to use on top? Addictive. I’m warning you now. I love these on the go snacks so much that I bought a undisclosed number of bags before I got around to finally making this recipe. I bought a bag specifically for this recipe and then we would just eat them all. And then we repeated this Again. And again. Don’t ask me how many Bites I ate! Also who wants to unwrap small candy bars? I love that these are all unwrapped for you…. quicker to eat! 🙂
So lets get on to this Caramel TWIX Popcorn already! Grab a bowl..
Caramel TWIX Popcorn Recipe
PrintIngredients
- 4 quarts popped popcorn this is 1/2 cup unpopped
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 7 oz bag of TWIX Bites - chopped in half
Instructions
- If you are popping your own popcorn do this first.
- Place popcorn in large bowl.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Looks very scrumptious, just wondering how to store it, airtight container or bag, in the fridge or no. Want to make some and give to the kids to take home.

This recipe is heaven! I can never stop once I get started on Twix bites. They are definitely a dangerous substance. But so good!

I fully support your assertion that TWIX Bites are addictive – I won’t divulge how many I ate in one sitting either! I love the addition in popcorn and adding a little salty/sweet mix! #client
Jamie@Milk N Cookies says
This is such a fun idea, Pamela! My office always has big tins of popcorn (cheddar, caramel, and butter) around the holidays, and the caramel always seems to disappear first. I guess it’s a crowd favorite! Your homemade caramel corn looks delicious — especially with all those Twix bits thrown in!
