Caramel Popcorn

This is a really easy and yummy caramel popcorn recipe. I've made it so many times and it has always been a hit. It isn't sticky and gooey.....which isn't bad but I don't really like it when it sticks to my teeth. This is popcorn is crisp and crunchy.

Ingredients:

15 cups popped popcorn
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

1. Heat oven to 200 degrees.

2. Place popcorn in very large roasting pan, very large bowl, or divide popcorn between 2 ungreased rectangular pans, 13x9x2 inches.

3. Heat brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt in 2 quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly around edges. Continue cooking 5 minutes without stirring; remove from heat. Stir in baking soda until foamy.

4. Pour sugar mixture over popcorn; toss until evenly coated. If using bowl, transfer mixture to pans.

5. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on aluminum foil or cooking parchment paper. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store tightly covered.
