Instructions
- Start off by making 4 quarts of popcorn. You can either do microwave popcorn or make your own stove-top popcorn which is definitely healthier but takes a bit more effort.
- Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and put the popcorn in there. Start baking the popcorn at 250 F while you make the caramel.
- In a pot, mix 1 cup of brown sugar with 1/2 cup of corn syrup, 1/2 cup of butter or vegan butter and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high stirring constantly, and then stop stirring and boil it for 5 minutes.
- Take off the heat, add in 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir well.
- Pour the caramel over the popcorn and toss well.
- Bake for 45-minute stirring occasionally.
- Break it apart and serve!
