Ingredients
You'll need the following ingredients to make this delicious caramel corn: 10 cups of popped popcorn, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of light corn syrup, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Instructions
To make the caramel corn, start by preheating your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the popcorn onto a large baking sheet, making sure that it's spread evenly.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in the corn syrup, brown sugar, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture has boiled for 5 minutes, remove it from the heat and pour it over the popcorn. Mix the popcorn and caramel together until the popcorn is evenly coated.
Baking
Once the popcorn is evenly coated with the caramel, spread the popcorn onto two baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring the popcorn every 15 minutes.
Cooling
Once the popcorn is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Once it's cooled, break it into pieces and enjoy!
