Caramel Corn
Avg. rating 5 from 2 votes.Recipe Information
Ingredients
Directions
Pop the popcorn and divide into 2 or 3 large bowls. Set aside.
Combine margarine, brown sugar, molasses and salt into a saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 full minutes. Don’t worry if the oil separates out of the margarine. It will turn out fine.
After boiling 5 minutes, remove from heat and immediately sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. The mixture will bubble up and the oil will incorporate into the sugar.
Pour sugar mixture over popped corn and working quickly, stir around the corn with two wooden spoons. Mixture will be very hot. It will not cover all pieces, but that’s okay. Once cool, break apart larger pieces.
Store in an airtight container. Makes about a gallon.
Notes
This is really hot, do not use your hands!
