Caramel Popcorn

Are you looking for an addictive, easy snack that the kids will love?
Making caramel popcorn is a lot easier than you think.

Here’s a recipe that I got from a friend.

Caramel Popcorn
1 c sugar
1/2 c margarine
1/4 c corn syrup
1/4 tsp baking soda

Pop popcorn. (I used 2 bags of microwave popcorn)

Mix together syrup, margarine and sugar in a saucepan.

Bring to a boil. Stir for 1 min.

Take off heat and add baking soda.

Stir and pour over popcorn (be sure to grease bowl that popcorn is in or it will stick to sides when cooled.

Tips:

I spread the popcorn over a cookie sheet so that it wouldn’t become soggy and it would harden faster.

I used a sheet of wax paper over the cookie, sheet, but this was a BAD idea as the paper stuck to the popcorn. Next time, I would use a silicone mat or nothing at all.

I would also spread it over two sheets, as I found the popcorn too thick for fully hardening.

Try not to eat this in one sitting!
