Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 quarts plain popped corn
  • 2 cups slivered almonds (or other nuts)
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Pop the corn according to package instructions and place it in a large mixing bowl, ensuring no unpopped kernels remain.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter with brown sugar and light corn syrup. Stir continuously until boiling, then let boil without stirring for about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and mix in salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract carefully as the mixture will bubble.
  4. Pour the hot caramel over popped corn and stir quickly until evenly coated.
  5. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Spread the caramel-coated popcorn on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
  6. Let cool completely before breaking into pieces.
