Ingredients
- 5 cups popped popcorn lightly salted and buttered
- ⅓ cup whole almonds*
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the popped popcorn into a shallow, greased baking pan. (I used a jelly roll pan.) Sprinkle the almonds on top of the popcorn and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 250°F.
- In a skillet, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring to blend the ingredients together. Once the mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda and vanilla.
- Immediately pour the caramel sauce over over the popcorn, and stir to coat. (Don't be too worried about the popcorn not being completely coated at this point.)
- Bake for 1 hour, removing the pan, and giving it a good stir every 15 minutes.
- Line the counters with waxed paper.
- Pour the caramel corn out onto the waxed paper and separate into pieces. Allow to cool completely, then enjoy or store in airtight containers.
Notes
- *Do not use almond slivers. Use whole almonds or large almond pieces. The slivers will sink to the bottom and not be coated in any caramel if you do.
- A bag of microwave popcorn makes about 5 cups.
