Olivia's Killer Karamel Korn a.k.a. Easy Caramel Popcorn

My daughter Olivia found this recipe and we made a couple of tweaks to it. This is a great recipe to make with the kids on a snowy afternoon like yesterday when we whipped up this batch. I'm afraid the adults ate much more than the kids though. Absolutely addictive!

•  ½ cup popping corn
•  ¼ cup canola oil
• 2 tsp sea salt

Pop the corn in the oil and set aside in a very large bowl. You can use air popped corn if you like.

In medium saucepan combine:

• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup corn syrup

Bring to a boil and simmer over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add:

• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp baking soda

Stir well and immediately pour over the popped corn. Toss together well to coat the popcorn on all sides.

Spread on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees F for one hour tossing the popcorn every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and spread in a single layer on parchment or waxed paper to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
