Carmel Corn always seems to taste better on a cold wintry night. You can add M&M’s, pretzels, candy corn and peanuts, if you like. This is a perfect snack for a Halloween party!
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1-2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp butter flavor
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Peanuts/pecans (optional)
- 8 quarts popped popcorn
Directions
Step 1
Prepare and pop 8 quarts of popcorn; set aside.
Step 2
Omitting the baking soda and nuts, combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for five minutes, then add the baking soda.
Step 3
Pour mixture over the popcorn and nuts (if you’re using them) and mix well until all corn and nuts are coated evenly.
For crisper corn bake one hour in a 250 degree oven, stirring occasionally.
