Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c brown sugar
1 c butter
1/2 c white corn syrup
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
7 qt popped corn mixed with 1 cup pecans ( halves)

Steps:

  • 1. In a heavy sauce pan (allowing for extra space at the top for foam to rise), combine the sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt.
  • 2. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.
  • 3. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda.
  • 4. Foam will instantly form when the baking soda is added.
  • 5. Immediately pour the mixture over freshly popped corn and peanuts in a large container. Best when microwave butter popcorn is used.
  • 6. Mix well and quickly.
  • 7. Pour onto two cookie sheets lined with foil.
  • 8. Bake in preheated oven at 200 for 1 hour 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • 9. Store in a tightly sealed container as air will make the corn soggy.
