Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 8 quarts popcorn (popped, unsalted)

Instruction

  • Divide popcorn between two large roasting pans lightly sprayed with a nonstick spray. Set aside
  • In a large sauce pot, combine brown sugar, corn syrup and butter.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Boil for 5 minutes over low heat, stir every few minutes to make certain it isn't burning. 
  • Remove from heat. Add baking soda and vanilla. The baking soda will cause the mixture to foam up slightly.
  • Pour caramel mixture over divided popcorn. Stir carefully to distribute over popcorn.
