Another favorite in my family. The holidays wouldn't be the same without a few batches of this being made!
6 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup butter
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup, light or dark
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 250°. Oil or spray a large roasting pan with vegetable cooking spray, regular or butter-flavored. Pour popcorn into the pan. In a heavy pan, slowly melt butter; stir in the brown syrup, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. Gradually pour the syrup over popcorn, stirring to blend well. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool completely and beak apart.
Hint: I bought one of these microwave poppers earlier this year and I absolutely LOVE it. A bag of popcorn costs 1.69 on sale, and I have lost count of the number of bowls of popcorn I get out of one bag. Probably around 25. How much would 25 bags of Microwave popcorn cost? Plus, the bonus of no chemicals!
