I have recently had several people request this recipe so I thought it would be a good one to have posted on my blog. It's a DELICIOUS crunchy recipe that my Mama Rhien makes. I'm warning you though - it's highly addictive, so watchout!
Caramel Popcorn
· 5 quarts of popped popcorn
· 1 cup butter
· 2 cups brown sugar
· 1/2 cup Light Karo Syrup
· 1/2 tsp salt
· 1/2 tsp baking soda
· 1/2 tsp vanilla
Pop popcorn and take out any of the duds (so you don't break a tooth). Mix butter, sugar, syrup and salt and cook until boiling. Boil for 5 minutes. Pour over popcorn and stir to coat evenly. Place in an oven-proof pan and bake at 250 degrees for one hour - stirring every 15 minutes. After one hour pour popcorn out onto wax paper, tin foil or cookie sheets until cool. Break apart and enjoy!
(My notes: I used more than 5 quarts of popcorn. It didn't' seem like 5 quarts was enough. I also doubled the recipe each time I made it and cooked the popcorn in my large roasting pan - it worked great.)

Did you forget to put the baking soda in when you were writing the directions? I have made a recipe very similar to this and everyone always loves it. Thanks for sharing!
I ahve the same recipe, except I cook mine for only 30 min and stir it every 15 min. You don't know me, but I feel like I know you. I came across your blog while checking out scrapbooking ideas.
