Oven Caramel Corn

(Makes 15 cups)

15 cups popped popcorn

1 cup packed light brown sugar

½ cup butter

¼ cup light corn syrup

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Place popped popcorn in a very large roasting pan (or divide popcorn between 2 13x9-inch pans).

In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, over medium-low heat, mix together brown sugar, butter, corn syrup & salt, stirring occasionally, until mixture is bubbly around the edges.

Continue cooking for 5 minutes without stirring.

Remove from heat. Immediately stir in baking soda until foamy.

Pour the caramelized-sugar mixture over the popcorn; toss & stir until evenly-coated.

Bake at 200 degrees F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Spread on aluminum foil or parchment paper to cool.

Let cool completely. Store at room-temperature in an airtight container.
