Did you know that popcorn comes in different shapes? There are two main kinds: butterfly (also called snowflake) and mushroom. Most of the popcorn you get at the movies or buy at the market is butterfly shape, which pops up light and fluffy with lots of “wings” sticking out.

Caramel popcorn, however, is often made with mushroom popcorn, which is a rounder shape (like a mushroom with a cap) and a sturdier texture. Both popcorn shapes work for this recipe, but if you find mushroom popcorn in a specialty store or online, give it a try with this caramel popcorn recipe!
