This is by far the best recipe I found for a homemade caramel popcorn recipe. I made two batches for Ryan & Will's birthday party. I made them two days in advance to give me some time to work on other menus for the party. It was worth it and I placed them in these cute little bags. Sipping wine and baking popcorn on a lazy weeknight was not bad at all.
* 1 cup butter
* 2 cups brown sugar
* 1/2 cup corn syrup
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 5 quarts popped 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.
Enjoy!
People can do more than they ever believe they can do. Physically, mentally, academically. You have to be pushed. It hurts. But it's worth it, and it's a great thing. See the link below for more info.
