Time 1h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (96 g) bags popped popcorn (14 cups popped)
2 cups packed brown sugar or 2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup (or regular)
1/2-2/3 cup butter or 1/2-2/3 cup margarine
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
chopped nuts (optional) or peanuts, work well (optional)

Steps:

Combine brown sugar (or white), light corn syrup, butter or margarine and salt in a mixing bowl.
When it's all mixed together put into a pot or saucepan and bring to a boil.
Stop stirring and let it bubble for 5-8 minutes.
While it's boiling pop the popcorn.
Pour popcorn into a large bowl* (Remove kernels)*.
Pour the mixture over the popcorn and mix it around until all the popcorn is coated with the caramel sauce.
Take the coated popcorn and put on an ungreased baking sheet.
I suggest to put tinfoil down to make clean up easier!
Put on middle rack in the oven and cook at 250°F for 45 minutes.
Let cool and put in a bowl and enjoy!
*For more of a buttery taste use white sugar*.
