Ingredients
2
cups
brown sugar
½
cup
corn syrup
1
cup
butter
½
teaspoon
baking soda
1
teaspoon
vanilla
8
quarts
popcorn
popped, unsalted
Instructions
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.
Place in a 200 degree oven for 1 hour. Gently stir mixture every 15 minutes.
Remove from pan and break clusters into small pieces. Once cooled store in a air tight container.
Notes
Use caution when handling the caramel. It is very hot and will stick to your fingers causing a burn.
