We did caramel popcorn as kids and poured the caramel over the popcorn but never put it in the oven, worked well, saved power:)

Yes, you can omit that last step, but it'll be a bit more sticky and gooey. This recipe is slightly adapted from an American cookbook and I felt I should be true to the original.
