List of Ingredients




14 cups popped popcorn
1 cup butter or margarine
1 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar, packed
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp. baking soda


Recipe



Heat oven to 200ºF (100ºC). Combine sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once it begins to boil, stop stirring 5 minutes, or until mixture reaches 255ºF on a candy thermometer. (May have to adjust according to altitude and humidity). Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Mixture will start to foam, so stir well until blended. Make your popcorn ahead of time, pop popcorn either in a hot air popper or microwave. Once you have popped popcorn, remove any un-popped kernels. Now place popcorn in a large, buttered metal bowl. Pour hot mixture over popcorn and toss gently with well buttered forks to distribute evenly. Spread onto 2 ungreased baking sheets and bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. if it starts to look too golden, it may be time to take it out! Oven temperatures vary not only with model but with altitude, so adjust time accordingly.
Storage & Serving: Remove caramel corn from oven and allow to cool completely. Once cool, break it into clusters, and store in a tightly covered container. For a Halloween party, serve on a large serving tray or in decorative bowls. If having a child's party, wrap some in treat bags.
