Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup unpopped popcorn
• 2 tablespoons oil (for popping)
• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 200°.
• 2 spray your largest cookie sheets.
• 3 pop the popcorn in the oil and set aside. i do this in two batches. place in a very large bowl. (plastic bowls work really well because the caramel won't stick; you could also spray the bowl with a bit of pam).
• 4 over medium heat in a heavy saucepan, melt butter and stir in brown sugar, salt and syrup. bring to a rolling boil.
• 5 when it starts to boil, boil a full 5 minutes stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. (i used a plastic spatula and ended up sacrificing it)
• 6 remove from the heat and add the soda. pour caramel directly on the popcorn and stir to coat completely.
• 7 pour popcorn onto the sheets and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes. allow to cool and break into pieces. store in zip-top bags.
