Caramel Corn

Nothing says holidays better than peanut brittle and caramel corn....so this year was my time to try my hand in it. I think both of them turned out pretty good!

Ingredients:

12 cups air popped popcorn

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

1/2 cup light karo syrup

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp baking soda

Put popcorn in a big roasting pan.

Mix the brown sugar, butter, syrup and salt in a sauce pan over med. heat until it's a foamy boil. Quickly stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla and then 1/2 tsp baking soda (in that order). Mixture will foam. Pour quickly over popcorn (stir well) and bake 1 hr at 250. Must stir every 15 minutes. Cool in pan and then break up.
