Keep caramel corn fresh by storing it under proper conditions; away from heat, moisture and humidity. Popcorn, including caramel corn, doesn't spoil, it just loses its flavor and crispness. When stored appropriately, the caramel corn will last longer, maintaining its fresh taste and crisp texture.

Place the caramel corn in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag, once opened, or if homemade.
