Servings

servings

Ingredients

  • 8 cup popped popcorn (microwave butter popcorn is perfect)

  • ¾ cups packed brown sugar

  • 6 Tablespoons butter

  • 3 Tablespoons light corn syrup

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla

Directions

***Preheat oven to 300 degrees***

  • Pop the popcorn and remove the un-popped kernels.
  • Put popcorn into a 17x12x2 inch baking pan.
  • In a 1 ½ quart saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt. Stir over heat until butter melts and mixture comes to boiling. Cook, without stirring, for 5 minutes more, being careful not to burn.. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the baking soda and vanilla. Pour over the popcorn, gently stirring to coat.
  • Bake in a 300 degree oven for 10 minutes.
  • Stir and bake 10 minutes more.
  • Remove to a large bowl to cool.

Notes

  • Although the instructions don’t call for it, I line the baking pan with parchment paper. It makes clean up easier and who doesn’t appreciate that?
