Yum!

Here is my favorite recipe for caramel corn. This has served me faithfully on many movie nights, karate instructor gifts and potluck contributions. If you are a Fishers popcorn fan, there will be no going back! Not only is this tastier, but it costs almost nothing to make, as opposed to the small fortune they charge for it on the boardwalk. Enjoy!

1 cup butter 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup corn syrup 5 quarts popped popcorn ( I pop mine in a hot air
1 tsp salt popper)

directions:
Preheat oven to 250 F
Place popcorn in super sized bowl
In med saucepan over med heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla.
Pour over popcorn in bowl and stir to coat.
Place in 2 large baking dishes ( i like to line mine with parchment paper so the mess is minimized at cleanup time), and bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minute during the baking time.
Remove from oven and let cool before you break into pieces.
