Here's a sweet snack idea that you can make in the comfort of your own home. It takes about 15 minutes of prep time to make this the best caramel corn ever. You will need to put it in the oven for about an hour so that every kernel is lathered in that delicious, tasty caramel sauce. I hope you try out this easy recipe and share your experience in the comment section below! Ingredients: 1/2 cup popcorn kernels 1/2 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup corn syrup 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Pop your popcorn and pour into a casserole dish or two. To make the caramel: Combine butter, sugar, syrup, and salt in a medium sized sauce pan. Bring to a boil, and then boil for 5 minutes mixing constantly. Remove from heat then add vanilla extract and baking soda. Mix until your caramel looks lighter and fluffy. Pour caramel onto popcorn and mix. The caramel will start to harden, but don't worry because you will mix it every 15 minutes in the oven so that everything is covered. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour at. Lay out caramel corn onto parchment paper to cool off. Break apart into smaller, easier to eat, pieces. Whatever you don't eat bag up right away so it stays nice and crispy. Enjoy!
