Caramel Corn

Ingredients

• 12 cups popped popcorn
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 250°F and spread the popped popcorn evenly across two large baking sheets, removing any unpopped kernels.
2. 2Melt the butter with the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
3. 3Bring the mixture to a boil and let it bubble without stirring for about 4 minutes.
4. 4Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract; the mixture will foam up slightly.
5. 5Pour the hot caramel evenly over the popcorn and toss well to coat every piece.
6. 6Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, to crisp up the caramel coating.
7. 7Spread the caramel corn out on parchment paper to cool completely before breaking apart and serving.
