Ingredients

8 cups popped corn (appx. 1/3 cup unpopped kernels)

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup lightncorn syrup

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2-1 cup spanish roasted peanuts for those who can eat nuts.

Directions

Preheat Oven to 300.

On a baking sheet with sides, spread out cooked popcorn and set a side.

In a medium-sized heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt.

Bring to a boil over medium-low heat,stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

Cook until the mixture reaches 250 on a candy thermometer and is at the hard-ball stage or for me it just looks really remelted, about 3 miuntes. I never use a thermometer for this.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in baking soda. It foams.

Immediately pour the mixture over the popcorn (and nuts), stirring the mess until most of the kernels are coated.

Bake the popcorn mix for 15 minutes. Stir, coating any kernels that were not coated at the beginning, and bake for 5 more minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. With a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the popcorn as it contines to cool, coating it evenly and breaking up any large clumps.

Popcorn can be stored in an air tight container in a cool place for up to 1 week. Now why would it even last that long before it was eaten?

Ok, I have used one of my big plastic bowls to stir the popcorn and melted ingredients and then scraped onto the backing sheet. I think I sprayed the bowl with canola oil lightly?

Anyway, this tastes so good and I really love the spanish peanuts.

It really is easy. Pop the corn, melt the stuff, pour, mix, stir, bake, eat. Enjoy JJ

I was just thinking of getting out my recipe for this. I have been making it since my college days. I even have scar on the back of my hand from making the mistake of not using a large enough pot. The caramel boiled over and like a well educated college student I grabbed the pan handle to get it off the burner. Ouch! I only make this around Christmas time, mostly because I would sit down and eat it all myself.
