I wanted to share a fun Visiting Teaching Treat that I gave out recently that was super easy and yummy too! I put together these bags that has a cute message and oh... so... yummy caramel popcorn.
Here is the recipe:
Caramel Popcorn
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 quarts popped popcorn
(I used regular popcorn kernels and a 5 quart pot and popped the popcorn over the stove, mainly because I don't own a popcorn machine. You can follow the instructions of the kernels pkg on how to pop them using the stove.)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place popcorn in a very large bowl.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla. Pour in a thin stream over popcorn, stirring to coat.
- Place in large baking dish (I used a big roasting pan which made stirring really easy) and bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Tip: Once my popcorn was popped I put it in the oven while it preheating. It is easier for the caramel to get mixed evenly over the popcorn while it is still warm!
Copy & Print out this message in a fun Halloween style font and attach to bags filled with the popcorn goodness!
