When I think about the Holidays I remember my grandma always bringing caramel corn in a red bucket. Well, I don't have a red bucket but I do have a great caramel corn recipe. This recipe is from Paula Dean. Now you may be wondering why I am not using my grandma's recipe but when I compared her's and this one they were too close to split hairs about. You should just go ahead and make a double batch because this will go fast! Enjoy!Tip: you can use microwave popcorn to make this easier, just buy "natural" or butter free. Any added butter will make it harder for the caramel to stick to the popcorn.
1 cup butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Over medium heat combine first 4 ingredients and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Stir well. Pour over 8 quarts popped popcorn or 3 microwave bags or popcorn. Stir to coat well. Bake in a large roaster for 1 hour, stir every 15 minutes. Spread on wax paper to dry.
OMG I was just thinking about this caramel corn recipe because I need to bring something to a Christmas party.
