Junk Food Popcorn
aka Nanna’s Caramel Corn
(double batch recipe)
approx. 6 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Pour popcorn into large, nonstick roasting pan. In medium saucepan melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, and vanilla. Bring to boil. Turn to low and let bubble for 5 minutes. Do not stir! Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda. Pour sugar mixture over popcorn and mix well. Bake at 250*, stirring every 15 minutes for approximately 60 minutes. Spread into single layer on waxed paper until cool. Break apart and store in airtight container – if you don’t eat it all before it’s time to put it away.

I posted a recipe for caramel corn on my blog last night. The recipe came from my husbands grandmother. It is basically the same recipe with small differences. We love caramel or junk food popcorn at our house. Thanks.

You should have a warning on the Caramel Corn recipe. It is seriously addicting! Whenever I make it, I eat almost the entire thing on my own.

Great site, Lynn. Those PB bars sound real good.
Thanks l, for the heads’ up. I knew it had to come sooner or later. I think it’s just a conspiracy to raise grocery prices.
