Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 quarts popped popcorn

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250ºF.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, corn syrup, and salt; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once the mixture comes to a boil, let it boil for 5 minutes without stirring.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and the baking soda. Be careful - as the mixture will bubble up.
  • Gradually pour the caramel over the popped corn, mixing well. (I usually have the popcorn in 2 big bowls to give me enough room to stir to coat it with caramel.)
  • Turn the coated popcorn out onto 2 large, shallow baking sheets. I usually use half sheet baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minute, or until fairly dry, stirring twice during baking time. Remove from the pan and break into pieces.
  • Store the caramel popcorn in an air-tight container.
