1 cup butter (I use unsalted)
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 quarts popped popcorn
Optional (as much or as little as you want):
chopped walnuts
chocolate chips
mini marshmallows
-
Directions:
Preheat oven to 250*
Spray 2 shallow baking dishes (I use 9x13 pyrex dishes) with Pam.
Place popcorn in dishes.
-
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla. Pour in a thin stream over popcorn, stir to coat.
-
Bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour.
Mix ins:
You can bake the nuts with the popcorn for the whole hour, or I recommend adding them at least for the last 15 minutes. After the hour of baking I usually transfer the popcorn into a large bowl and stir in the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Then I spread the mixture onto a wax-paper lined cookie sheet, to completely cool before storing in a ziploc bag.
Hope you enjoy and let me know if you come up with any fun mix-in ideas!
