How to Make State Fair Blue Ribbon Caramel Corn
- Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine popcorn, brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until evenly coated.
- Spread the popcorn mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 60-90 minutes, stirring every 20-30 minutes, until golden brown and caramelized. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the caramel to fully set and prevents sticking.
- Once cooled, break apart any large clumps and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
