Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Popcorn
Pop your popcorn using your preferred method. You can use a popcorn maker or simply pop it on the stove. Once popped, place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Caramel Sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it reaches a boil, stop stirring and let it cook for 5 minutes without stirring.

Step 3: Add the Baking Soda and Vanilla
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious. This step is crucial as the baking soda helps to create a light and crunchy texture.

Step 4: Coat the Popcorn
Pour the caramel sauce over the popped popcorn in the large mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently toss and coat the popcorn evenly with the caramel sauce.

Step 5: Bake the Caramel Corn
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the caramel-coated popcorn evenly on the baking sheets. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating and prevent burning.

Step 6: Cool and Store
Once the Caramel Corn is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheets. Once cooled, break it into clusters and store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
