This recipe is e'er a striking at birthday parties in addition to tin halt move made ahead of time. I promise y'all similar them equally much equally nosotros do!!
1 purse of microwave popcorn (see note)
1 loving cup low-cal dark-brown saccharide
1/4 loving cup Karo corn syrup (the clear kind)
2 teaspoons molasses
1/2 loving cup butter cutting into cubes
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon tabular array salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 250° in addition to lightly spray a large baking canvas (with sides) amongst vegetable spray in addition to put it inward the oven while it preheats (see banking concern notation below).
In a medium size sauce pan, convey the dark-brown sugar, corn syrup, molasses, butter in addition to common salt to a simmer. Cook (and stir) until this mixture reaches 250° on a candy thermometer (it exclusively takes about 3 or 4 minutes). Just brand certain y'all stir it the whole time.
While the mixture is simmering, popular the purse of popcorn inward the microwave in addition to thence spread it out on the prepared (warm) baking canvas and put it dorsum inward the oven to remain warm (add nuts at this phase if y'all are going to role them). (Tip: brand certain to take away whatsoever un-popped popcorn "duds"). (see banking concern notation below)
When the caramel mixture reaches 250°, take away it from the estrus in addition to stir inward the baking soda in addition to vanilla. Stir until real good mixed (it volition plough the mixture a lighter tan color in addition to teach foamy which is what y'all want..... takes virtually twenty seconds).
Pour over the warm popped corn in addition to gently stir to coat. Bake coated popcorn inward the 250° oven for 1 hour, stirring every xv minutes.
After it has baked 1 hour, plough it out onto some waxed newspaper in addition to permit it cool (it cools VERY fast). When completely cool, interruption apart whatsoever large pieces. Make certain y'all shop these completed crackerjacks inward air tight container (I role Ziplocks).
NOTE: I role 1 purse of lightly salted microwave popcorn. Personally, I don't mean value the heavy butter flavored multifariousness would sense of savor right, although I'm certain it would work.
NOTE: Make certain the baking canvas that y'all role has sides. I used my roaster pan in addition to it worked well. You simply desire the sides to move tall enough, so that, when y'all stir the coated corn y'all won't lose whatsoever pieces over the edge.
NOTE: Instead of spraying my baking pan amongst vegetable spray, I similar to role the new-ish "no stick aluminum foil". Either means industrial plant well.
NOTE: Be careful spell y'all are stirring this caramel sauce thence y'all don't teach it on your pare (it is dangerously hot).
CLEAN UP TIP: This cooked caramel sauce gets VERY difficult equally it cools, thence I advise that y'all set your dirty utensils (and pan) inward hot soapy H2O to soak a footling while before y'all attempt to launder them. It makes construct clean upward a LOT easier.
