Caramel Popcorn

Description

Great caramel popcorn for any holiday or occasion. If you like chewy popcorn, bake the coated corn a little less.

Ingredients

• 5 quartz popped popcorn
• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place popcorn in a very large bowl.
2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring 4 minutes.
3. Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda. Pour caramel in a thin stream over popcorn while stirring. Stir until evenly coated.
4. Divide popcorn between two large shallow baking dishes. Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour.
5. Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces. Enjoy!
