Baked Caramel Corn



Looking for a new Christmas treat?  Something different for the next cookie exchange or gift for teacher?  I have been making this recipe since I was seven years old!  It is one of my family's favorites!  I only make it during the Christmas season, so it is an extra special treat!!!  Like most of my recipes, there are few ingredients and it is very simple to make.  I hope you enjoy our favorite Christmas-time goody!!

Baked Caramel Corn

6 Quarts Popped Popcorn-spread out on 2 cookie sheets, remove unpopped seeds

1 Cup Unsalted Butter
2 Cups Light Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Light Corn Syrup
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Vanilla

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  While making caramel sauce, keep popped corn warm in preheated oven.

Melt butter.  Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.  Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.  Boil without stirring, on medium heat for five minutes.

Remove from heat.  Remove popcorn from oven.

Stir in baking soda and vanilla to caramel sauce.  Pour over corn and evenly coat.

Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.  Remove from pans immediately, once hour is up.  Enjoy!  Sprinkle in peanuts or M&M's to make it extra nummy :)
