Caramel Corn Recipe
submitted by reader Penny Houdek

Ingredients
7 and 1/2 quarts popped popcorn
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter (not margarine)
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In a saucepan, heat butter, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir occasionally. When mixture comes to a full boil, cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and mix until evenly coated. Bake for 1 hour in large, greased roasting pan, stirring every 15 minutes.
Tips from our test kitchen: Maple-flavored syrup is a nice substitute for the corn syrup. For some extra crunch, stir in 1 cup of pecans or peanuts.
