EASY HOMEMADE CARAMEL CORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. To know when the pan is hot enough, add 3-4 kernels of popcorn. When they pop, the pan is hot enough. Remove the popped kernels and add the remaining ½ cup of kernels to the pan.
• Shake the pan or stir kernels so that they are evenly spread out in pan.
• Cover with a lid, leaving a small opening for steam to escape. Once the popcorn starts popping vigorously, shake the pot gently once.
• Remove from heat when the popping stops. You should be able to count to 3 between pops.
• Put the freshly popped popcorn into the baking pan. Be sure there are no unpopped kernels. (NOTE 3)
• Place in oven to stay warm while making the caramel.
• Combine the butter, corn syrup, and brown sugar in a pan and heat over low heat until the butter is dissolved.
• After the mixture is melted, turn the heat to medium and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until it reaches 255° F.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla.
• Stir in the baking soda until it is well combined.
• Drizzle on top of the popcorn immediately and stir gently, trying to coat as much of the popcorn as possible.
• Bake for 45 minutes, stirring the popcorn every 15 minutes.
• Gently break apart large clusters, if desired.
• Store in an air tight container for 2-3 weeks.

Continue to stir for 3-4 minutes, remove from heat and stir in vanilla then immediately stir in baking soda (be careful, mixture will bubble up!). Pour caramel over popcorn and stir with a rubber spatula until well-coated.
• Place baking sheets in the preheated oven and cook for 15-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. ***For chewier popcorn, cook only 15-30 minutes. For crispier popcorn, cool closer to 45-60 minutes. My favorite is about 35-40 minutes for a crispy start and a chewy finish!
• Allow to cool, then serve or store in airtight container up to 3 days.
