Friday Recipe - Homemade Caramel Corn

We like to have movie night in our house and the kids roll out their sleeping bags and grab their pillows. Then I make popcorn with butter and salt and then I also make some caramel corn too.

For this caramel corn recipe I have combined two different recipes over the years to come up with this one and we really like it.

It is pretty easy and tastes yummy!

Caramel Corn
INGREDIENTS:
approximately 7 c of popped popcorn (take the time to remove any unpopped kernals)
3/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c butter
3 Tbsp light corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp vanilla

Put butter in a saucepan and melt over low heat. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Cook until bubbling. After it starts to bubble let it cook for 5 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla. Pour over popcorn and mix well, covering every piece of popcorn. Spread onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes at 300 degree oven. Let cool slightly and then break apart.
