How to Make Caramelized Popcorn II
To prepare this delicious recipe you will need the following ingredients: butter, baking soda, brown sugar, vanilla, corn syrup, popcorn, and salt.
Begin by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt, stirring constantly so the ingredients combine evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil without stopping to stir and then let it boil without stirring for 5 minutes so the caramel thickens.
Remove from heat and add the baking soda along with the vanilla; stir quickly to combine well and achieve a fluffy and pleasant texture.
Gradually pour the caramel over the popcorn and mix carefully so that every kernel is well coated.
Place the caramelized popcorn into two large, shallow baking pans, distributing it evenly.
Bake at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure they don't burn and caramelize evenly.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before handling.
Finally, break the popcorn into pieces and store it in tightly sealed containers to preserve its freshness and flavor.
