Categories     Popcorn

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

24-30 c popped popcorn
2 c brown sugar
1 c butter
1/2 c corn syrup
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Pop popcorn. Dump each batch into a large enamel roasting pan (turkey size) that has been treated with food release spray.
  • 2. In a heavy 3 qt. saucepan melt the butter with the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Over medium heat bring the sauce to a hard, rolling boil. Boil 5 minutes.
  • 3. Quickly stir in baking soda -- caramel will foam up.
  • 4. Immediately pour the caramel over the popcorn. Mix carefully and thoroughly, until all kernels are coated.
  • 5. Bake at 200* for 1 hour, stirring well every 15 minutes. If you like, you can stir in nuts at the last 15 min. Remove from oven. Cool and serve.
  • 6. NOTES: You may use light or dark brown sugar, and light or dark corn syrup -- it changes the flavor, so experiment to find your favorite combination :) Store in another room -- it's hard to stop eating it!

I had some trouble finding the right temperature for the caramel. It ended up being a little too hard.
