How to make Chewy Caramel Popcorn, Caramel Corn

This recipe is from my mother. I grew up with caramel popcorn that was chewy instead of crunchy. I prefer it chewy so that is what this recipe is for. If you want crunchy caramel popcorn just cook the caramel mixture for an extra minute and a half.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of butter or margarine
• 1/4 cup Karo Syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 tablespoon of Vanilla
• 24 cups of popcorn

1. Pop 24 cups of popcorn either in an air popper or on the stove top making sure to separate the un popped kernels and thrown them away.
   
   *I have never used microwave popcorn for this so I dont know how it would turn out.

2. Mix 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of butter or margarine and 1/4 cup of Karo syrup.
   
   Bring mixture to a boil and let boil for 2 1/2 minutes. (If you want crunchy Caramel Corn let boil for 4 minutes).

3. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 tablespoon of Vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon for baking soda.

4. Immediately pour over the popped popcorn. Stir until all the popcorn is well coated. Enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure to pick out the un popped kernels so you dont hurt your teeth.
• The caramel mixture will be very hot, please use caution when transferring from the stove to the popcorn.
