Homemade Fiddle Faddle

This is recipe number 2 that I’ve tried in the past two weeks in an attempt to make Homemade Fiddle Faddle.  Recipe #1 was such a bust I was too ashamed to even share it with y’all!  It was one of the worst fails I’ve had in the kitchen in a long time!

Attempt #2 turned out a little better.  Good enough that I photographed it & I’m blogging it at least 😉  The flavor in this one was really good!  The fail about this recipe though is the caramel never really set & the popcorn stayed very very sticky.  Not too sticky that it couldn’t be eaten though {as long as you had plenty of wet wipes around}!!

  1. Also use a candy thermometer. Most recipes for any type of caramel coating call for boiling until it hits the hard ball stage. It may not have reached that stage.

  2. To alleviate the stickiness you should bake the popcorn in a slow oven at 250 degrees for one hour, turning every 20 mins…it will bake the caramel into the popcorn! Will not effect taste! Good Luck!

  3. What causes it not to set up and stay sticky? I made a batch last night and is very goood but very sticky… bummed! Please help.

      1. You need to put the finished caramel corn in a big glass bowl, microwave on high for a minute, stir, then microwave on high for another minute. The is like the grocery bag caramel corn recipe. In it, you would pour mixture over half a large bag of popcorn, stir, cook, shake, then cook again.

  4. Looks great!
