3 bags Pop Secret homestyle butter microwave popcorn
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup Karo light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Pop popcorn according to package directions.

  • Prepare 2 baking sheets with a baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 250*F
  • In a pot, add butter and cook over medium heat until melted.
  • Add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
  • Bring to a boil and cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring regularly so caramel doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • After 4 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the pan from heat.
  • Add vanilla extract and be prepared for the mixture to spit at you. Stir to incorporate.
  • Add baking soda and stir. Mixture will become fluffy and increase in volume.
  • Pour caramel mixture over your prepared popcorn.
  • Stir well, careful not to touch the caramel mixture to your skin or it will burn you.
  • Spread caramel corn on baking sheets, dividing mixture between the two sheets.
  • Evenly space the racks in your oven so you can get both in there at the same time, one on top and one on bottom.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove caramel corn, and stir. Place back in oven on the opposite oven shelf.
  • Repeat 15 minute baking and stirring intervals until caramel corn has been baked 2 times total.

  • I like to stir again after caramel corn has been out of the oven for 5 minutes to prevent clumping.
