Warning...this caramel corn is highly addictive!! I've been making this recipe for a while now and when I get the ingredients out to make it, I immediately start drooling. I crunchy, chewy and everything I love in caramel corn. It makes a big recipe so it's perfect to take on a trip, or for a birthday party, or just to munch on over a weekend. I made it last Saturday for my daughters soccer team, then made it again Monday night for a Halloween party. It's fun and it's sure to please everyone...if not, there's more for you!
Caramel Corn {recipe adapted slightly from Paula Deen }
INGREDIENTS:
- 2-3 bags microwave popcorn, popped {I use simply salted Orville Redenbacher's Natural}
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Spray a large baking pan or roaster with cooking spray.
Pop popcorn and pour into a large bowl. I use a slotted spoon to scoop out any kernels that didn't pop.
Over medium heat, combine butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla extract. Stir well. Pour over the popped popcorn and stir well to coat. Bake in sprayed baking pan for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Immediately pour into a large clean brown paper bag and shake. Spread out on waxed paper to cool.
