Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup butter unsalted
  • 2 cups light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 ½ bags Popcorn about 16 cups popped
  • 16 ounce dark chocolate wafers melted, or white chocolate wafers, brand Ghirardelli

Instructions

  1. Place popped popcorn in a very large bowl or two large foil pans (lasagna pans or even broiler pans work). Set aside.
  2. Pan melt butter, stir in sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and vanilla. Gradually pour over popped corn in a large bowl or two large lasagna foil pans. Mix well.
  3. Bake at 250 degrees for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
  4. Break apart and store in covered containers. To go the extra mile, melt the white chocolate (or dark chocolate or both) completely, pour over cooled caramel corn. Lay out on wax paper to cool. Store in airtight Ziploc or tupperware containers.

Notes

  • Use a pan with enough space to spread the popcorn evenly. I make this with two large broiler pans. Friends of mine use those big disposable lasagna trays. Both work beautifully!
  • Be sure to remove any unpopped kernels and seeds from the popped corn before making this recipe. The last thing you want is to break a tooth on a hard kernel when you're trying to enjoy some sweet caramel corn.
  • When giving this popcorn treat as a gift, store it in mason jars wrapped with ribbon or in colored plastic wrap with treats like candy canes or other wrapped candy to fill it out. Decorative tins are also wonderful for storing and gifting caramel corn!
