This is a sweet treat for some sweet friends.
I use my friend Di's recipe. It is easy and so delicious!
Di's Caramel Corn
½ Cup butter (1 stick)
1 Cup light brown sugar
¼ Cup light corn syrup
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon baking soda
3 quarts (12 cups) popped corn
In heavy saucepan on medium to medium-high heat melt butter then add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring mixture to a boil stirring constantly. Once mixture boils stop stirring and boil for 5 minutes (Do not stir). Remove from heat and carefully stir in vanilla and baking soda. Pour mixture over popped corn. Gently stir to coat popcorn. Place popcorn into a large roaster or rimmed baking sheet and bake at 225° F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool and enjoy!
Two batches of this recipe filled my three containers from Wal-Mart perfectly.
Thanks for stopping by today!

I had planned to make marshmallows but this looks too good not to make. I must go make some now. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family, especially your cute little doggie!
