How to Make Can T Stop Eating It Caramel Corn

  1. Pop 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 245°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
  5. Remove from heat and immediately stir in vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
  6. Quickly pour the caramel sauce over the popped popcorn in a large bowl.

  9. Divide the caramel corn evenly between the prepared pans.
