2cupsbrown sugarpacked
½cuplight corn syrup
1tablespoonvanilla extract
1teaspoonbaking soda
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt margarine. Add sugar and corn syrup.
Stir and bring mixture to a boil. Let boil for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add vanilla and baking soda. Stir until fully combined.
Lay popcorn out on two cookie sheets. (Half on one and half on the other. You can use one for all of it, but I find I have an easier time stirring if I use two.)
Pour caramel mixture over popcorn. Stir to cover the popcorn.
Bake in a 200° oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
