Caramel Popcorn
Ingredients
  • Mazola Pure® Cooking Spray
  • 4 quarts popped popcorn
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Karo® Light OR Dark Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 cup butter OR margarine
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components.
2
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius). Spray a large, shallow roasting dish with cooking spray before filling it with popcorn. Place the popcorn in the preheated oven while you prepare the caramel sauce.
3
Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and salt in a heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until it reaches boiling point.
4
Immediately cease stirring and continue to boil the mixture for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
5
Remove the saucepan from the heat source and stir in baking soda and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
6
Pour the hot caramel sauce over the warmed popcorn, stirring until it's evenly coated throughout.
7
Return the popcorn to the oven and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every now and then to prevent burning.
8
Remove the popcorn from the oven and spread it onto a large, greased foil sheet. Allow it to cool completely before breaking it apart into individual pieces and storing them in a tightly sealed container.
