  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • Pop popcorn. Thoroughly coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray. Add the popped popcorn to the pan and set aside.
  • Combine the butter, brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt in a 2 quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the baking soda and vanilla (mixture will bubble and foam). Pour caramel over the popcorn and stir until thoroughly coated.
  • Bake popcorn at 250 degrees for approximately one hour, stirring every 15 minutes. The caramel corn is ready when the caramel is no longer sticky.

Well, it wasn't all eaten then, but it was fought over by several people to take the leftovers home! SUPER EASY! They almost didn't get any of it after I sampled it!! Thank you, ChefJulieS!!!
