Easy Caramel Corn

from ourbestbites.com

12 C popped popcorn (about 1/2 C kernels)
1 C brown sugar
1/4 C white Karo syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt (if you are using salted microwave popcorn then omit salt here)
1/2 cup real butter
1/2 t baking soda
1 t vanilla

Pop popcorn and set aside. Place brown sugar, Karo syrup, salt, and butter in a microwave safe dish. Microwave for 30 seconds. That should be enough to melt the butter at least half way. Stir it all to combine. No microwave on high for 2 minutes. Take it out and stir. Microwave for 2 more minutes.

While the caramel is cooking, put the popcorn in a big bowl. Use one that is way bigger than you think you’ll need.  Also, remove any un-popped kernels.  When the caramel is done cooking, take out of microwave and add baking soda and vanilla.  Stir well and then pour over popcorn and stir up popcorn immediately to coat.

Eat warm straight out of the bowl, or spread out onto waxed paper or foil and let cool to room temperature (for soft, gooey popcorn).

For crunchy caramel corn: spread out on a cookie sheet (you might need 2) and bake either at 200 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, or at 300 degrees for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.  If you choose the latter, keep an eye on it towards the end of cooking time to avoid over cooking.

or dont use karo syrup

Tausha’s Gooey/yummy popcorn

1 cube butter
3/4 c. brown sugar
10-12 large marshmellows
1 bag micro popcorn
melt in a pan on med heat on the stove. When the butter and sugar are BARELY melted together-throw the marshmellows in. Cook until just barely carmel brown. I take it off the heat right before all the marshmellows melt. 
If you cook it too long-it will go hard. 
Pour over popcorn!
Yummy and super easy. This takes about as much times as your yummy recips does. 
Just hope that you don’t care that I shared one of our fav popcorn recipes!
Keep up the great work!
