Whatcha Eating? Wednesday - December 17, 2014

I do not typically eat caramel popcorn. In fact, this is the only way I will eat it. I have been using this recipe for several years and it is so yummy! I found it HERE.

I pop my own popcorn and don't typically measure it out. I know this recipe can make 2 of my cookie sheets with a single layer of popcorn. :-)


Caramel Popcorn

Ingredients

1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
5 quarts popcorn

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place popcorn in a very large bowl.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla. Pour in a thin stream over popcorn, stirring to coat.
  3. Place in two large shallow baking dishes and bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces.
