Caramel Corn

Made by my mommy (and probably all her sisters too).

CARAMEL CORN
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
¼ cup light Karo syrup
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 quarts popped popcorn

Put popcorn in a large bowl in a 200-degree oven to keep warm. Melt butter in a saucepan, add brown sugar and other ingredients. Pour over warm popcorn and toss well to coat.

Turn oven up to 250 degrees. Spread popcorn on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for about an hour. Break into pieces. Store in airtight container. Or in your tum, really.

Makes 6 quarts of sugary fluffy corn goodness.
