Caramel Corn

Now that it's getting cold, I'm trying to get creative and keep the girls entertained. So, we made a big batch of Caramel Corn. It was quick and easy and FUN too!


I have great memories of making Caramel Corn with Grandma Berry when staying overnight with her as a kid.


Here's the recipe of you want to try it!

5 Quarts of Popped Corn - Keep Warm in Oven

3/4 cup Margarine
2 cups Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Corn Syrup

Bring to a rolling boil and allow to boil for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, remove from heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Pour warm popcorn into a brown paper bag, then pour the caramel mixture into the brown paper bag and stir to cover the popcorn. Place the brown paper bag in the microwave and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove and stir. Repeat this 2 more times. Pour over wax paper to cool.
