Yeah! Caramel Popcorn

Just in time for the holidays!! Great for teachers presents!

Pop kernals to make 6 quarts of popcorn. I use a dry electric corn popper.
Put popped corn in LARGE bowl or something that you will be able to stir it in without it going everywhere....maybe your wheelbarrow :)

Boil for 5 minutes: 2 cups brown sugar
2 sticks of margarine
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup corn syrup (lite or dark)
Take off the burner and add 1tsp. butter flavor(opt)
and 1 tsp. baking soda

The mixture will begin to expand when mixed throughly with a spoon or whisk. Pour over the popcorn and stir to coat evenly.
Put the bowl if metal or the mixture on cookie sheets in a 200degree oven and stir every 15 mins for 30-60 mins. sometimes I skip this stage it simply causes it to not be sicky.
Pack in a airtight container. I would buy little buckets and pack it for gifts... We make this numerous times a year. Yum!!!
