Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 14 cups stovetop popcorn
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • red and green food coloring

Instruction

  • First, make the stovetop popcorn. Divide the popcorn evenly among two large bowls.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Spray 2, 9×13 pans with cooking spray.
  • In a medium pot, melt together the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously with a silicon spatula. Continue to gently boil and stir for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla.
  • Divide the caramel between two medium bowls, add red food coloring to one, green food coloring to the other until you reach the desired shades (I used 10 drops each.)
  • Working fast before the caramel hardens, pour one bowl of colored caramel over one bowl of popcorn. Toss to coat. Repeat with the other bowl of colored caramel and bowl of popcorn.
  • Transfer popcorn to the prepared pans; place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, rotating pans and stirring each pan with a spatula (coated with cooking spray) every 15 minutes.
  • Cool completely before serving.
  • Enjoy in a big bowl, individual bowls, or wrap in cellophane bag with a ribbon and give as gifts!
