Ingredients

• 24 cups popped corn
• 1 cup butter or margarine
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups peanuts
• 1 1/2 cups walnut halves

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius).

2. Prepare Popcorn: Place the popped corn in a large bowl and set it aside.

3. Prepare Caramel Mixture: In a saucepan, melt the margarine (or butter) over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

4. Boil Caramel Mixture: Once boiling, let the mixture cook without stirring for 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving the right consistency, so avoid stirring during this time.

5. Incorporate Flavorings: After 5 minutes, remove the caramel mixture from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract.

6. Add Nuts: Add the peanuts and walnut halves to the caramel mixture, stirring well to combine.

7. Combine with Popcorn: Pour the caramel-nut mixture over the popped corn in the bowl. Use a wooden spoon to mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the popcorn is evenly coated with the caramel.

8. Transfer to Roasting Pan: Grease a large roasting pan and transfer the coated popcorn into it.

9. Bake: Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 10-15 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even coating.

10. Cool and Store: Once baked, remove the caramel popcorn from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

11. Break into Pieces: Once cooled, break the caramel popcorn into pieces of your desired size.

12. Storage: Store the caramel popcorn in a tightly covered tin box to maintain its freshness.

13. Enjoy: Indulge in the deliciousness of your homemade Easy Caramel Popcorn whenever you need a sweet treat!
