Caramel Popcorn (Easy)

This recipe doesn’t take as long as the next one. You can popcorn balls out of this, too. Just grease your hands after you stir together caramel and popcorn, form popcorn into balls, and place them on the prepared cookie sheet.

Ingredients

10 cups popped popcorn
2 teaspoons salt (only 1 teaspoon if popcorn is salted)
1 cup butter
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Place popcorn in a large bowl, line a large cookie sheet with waxed paper, and grease the bowl of a large spoon or
spatula; set aside.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan, then add brown sugar and corn syrup; stir until mixed.

Bring the sugar mixture to a boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally. When it reaches a boil, cook for 5 minutes
without stirring.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Add baking soda and immediately pour over the popcorn. Stir until all the kernels are covered.

Spread popcorn out onto prepared cookie sheet to cool. Store in airtight container.
