Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white corn syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 20 cups popped popcorn
Instructions
- Bring the butter, sugars, corn syrup, salt and vanilla to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda. This will start to "grow" so make sure your saucepan is big enough.
- Put the popcorn in a roaster pan. Pour the caramel over the popcorn and stir to mix. Bake in 250 degree oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
- After it is done baking, pour the popcorn out onto parchment paper to let it cool.
- Store in an airtight container.
