Baked Caramel Corn

Contributed By: Delma

Ingredients:

4 qt Popped corn
1/2 c Butter
1 c Brown sugar
1/4 c Corn syrup
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Vanilla
2/3 c Nuts (almonds, pecans, peanuts, etc)

Method:

Pop corn and remove old maids. Spread corn in a large flat pan, and
preheat in a 250 degree F. oven.
In a saucepan, melt butter, and stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and
salt. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to boil
without stirring for about 5 minutes (240 degrees F). Remove from heat, and
add baking soda and vanilla, stirring until foamy. If nuts are used, add
them NOW, stirring until heated through, and no longer clumped up. Pour syrup mixture over preheated popcorn, and stir to coat. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times to evenly distribute the coating.
Bake longer, about 60 minutes, for a more Cracker Jack taste. Cool,
break up and store airtight.
