Delicious homemade caramel corn (just like Cracker Jacks!)
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup corn syrup
  • ½ tea salt
  • ½ tea vanilla
  • ¼ tea baking soda
  • 2½ quarts popcorn- microwave or make your own
Instructions
  1. First make your popcorn and set that aside in a large baking dish (or two dishes)- you want a nice even layer not too deep.
  2. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  3. Next get started on the caramel sauce.
  4. Add butter to a pan and place over medium low to melt.
  5. Once melted, add brown sugar and corn syrup and salt.
  6. Stir and move heat up to high.
  7. Bring to boil- stirring constantly.
  8. Once it starts to boil stop stirring for 2 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and add your vanilla and baking soda.
  10. Stir well and quickly pour over the popcorn.
  11. Try to coat the popcorn evenly and then place the baking dishes in the oven for 45 minutes.
  12. Be sure to stir your popcorn every 15 minutes so it doesn't burn.
  13. Remove from oven and enjoy!
