"Candy-coated popcorn, peanuts, and a prize...
That's what you get in Cracker Jack!"
Okay...so you don't get any peanuts. Or a prize. It doesn't come in a box with a little sailor on the front. But it IS lip-smackin'. And paddy-whackin'. My mom gave me this recipe about 30 years ago. It's one of those kinds of foods that you can't stop eating once you try it. It's THAT good. Try it. Now.
Bo's Caramel Corn
2 (3.3 ounce) packages microwavable popcorn
1 stick butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup light corn syrup
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Pop popcorn and place in a large mixing bowl.
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Boil 4 – 5 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and add baking soda and vanilla. Stir until combined then pour over popped popcorn.
Stir until all popcorn is coated then transfer onto a large GREASED rimmed cookie sheet. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool.
Break into pieces.
