I’m a big fan of rewards . . . and sweets . . . I’m passing out one of my favorite recipes to everyone . . . Caramel Corn – hooray!
If you do a recipe search, there are hundreds of recipes for Caramel Corn online, but they don’t all turn out like this one. This is another one I’ve just always had, so I can’t give proper credit to its origin. Whoever you are out there, we thank you.
Caramel Corn
3 quarts popped corn
Place popped corn in a shallow baking pan in a 250 degree oven while making the caramel. (I divide the popped corn between two 9×12 pans, glass or metal work fine).
In saucepan, mix together:
1 C. packed lite brown sugar
1/2 C. lite corn syrup
1/2 C. butter
1/2 t. salt
Stirring constantly over medium heat, bring mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling (really boiling), stop stirring and set the timer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in:
1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. baking soda
Pour the caramel over the popped corn and stir it to coat evenly. Bake at 250 degrees for a total of one hour, stirring it every 15 minutes. After one hour, remove the caramel corn from the oven and immediately dump it out onto the countertop. Allow it to cool, break it apart, and start eating!
Please note: You MUST store the caramel corn in an airtight container (I like to use plastic ziploc bags). It looks cool in a big glass jar, but once the party is over, it’ll turn all chewy if you don’t seal it up!
