Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 quarts popped popcorn
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250ºF.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, corn syrup, and salt; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once the mixture comes to a boil, let it boil for 5 minutes without stirring.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and the baking soda. Be careful - as the mixture will bubble up.
- Gradually pour the caramel over the popped corn, mixing well. (I usually have the popcorn in 2 big bowls to give me enough room to stir to coat it with caramel.)
- Turn the coated popcorn out onto 2 large, shallow baking sheets. I usually use half sheet baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minute, or until fairly dry, stirring twice during baking time. Remove from the pan and break into pieces.
- Store the caramel popcorn in an air-tight container.
Notes
- **I used to cut the recipe down to 4 quarts of popcorn, but I have found that there is just too much caramel for 4 quarts, so I have gone back up to the original amount of 6 quarts.
- **This recipe is easily halved.
