Happiness is just moments away
I try my best to do a "keep the kids busy" activity before lunch. For 2 reasons, 1 to give them something to do with me. 2 So they dont kill each other.
Today we made caramel corn. They loved it. We talk about measuring, mixing, how things are made. It is so much fun. They loved it!
I thought I would share this fast, simple recipe. It is to die for!
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla
10 popped cups plain popcorn
Pop the popcorn. Keep it warm in the oven. In a sauce pan melt butter. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil, without stirring for 4 mins. Remove from heat. Add baking soda and vanilla.
In a large bowl pour caramel in a thin stream over popcorn, stirring to coat. Spread out on a cookies sheet to cool.
If you like it crunchy: place popcorn in a roasting pan. Bake at 250 for 45 mins to 1 hour stirring every 15 mins

We love popcorn at our house, but we always eat it plain. (Because I seriously don't want a worse mess to clean up when it hits the floor.) BUT carmel corn sounds so good to me right now. We'll have to give your recipe a try!!
It actually isnt that mess. I soaked the pan I mixed the caramel in and it was ready to wash. No sticky nastiness. None of it got on the floor!
