I've been wanting to try this baked caramel popcorn recipe from allrecipes.com for a couple of months. It tastes like crunchy Cracker Jacks and is oh so addictive!
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 quarts popped popcorn (about 3/4 cup kernels)
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Mix popcorn and nuts in a very large bowl.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla. Pour in a thin stream over popcorn, stirring to coat.
3. Place on two large shallow cookie sheets and bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. (I cooked both sheets at the same time.) Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces.
