Once you start eating this
buttery-sweet crunchy treat, it's almost impossible to stop!
Another delicious recipe from our Family-Favorite
Recipes Collection.
Caramel
Corn Crunch
- 15 cups popped corn, unpopped
kernels removed
2 cups brown sugar, firmly
1 cup butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
- Preheat oven to 200°F
(95°C). Place popped corn in a large, ungreased roasting
pan or divide popped corn between two 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking
pans (less desirable but it works, see note).
- Combine brown sugar, butter,
corn syrup and salt in 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over
medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5 minutes, without
stirring. Remove from heat, stir in baking soda and mix well.
Mixture will become foamy.
- Immediately pour caramel
mixture over popped corn and quickly toss to coat. (Or divide
evenly between the two pans.) Don't expect all corn to be coated,
that will happen in the course of baking.
- Bake for 1 hour, stirring
every 15 minutes. Remove from oven, immediately turn out of pan(s)
onto a foil-lined counter top and break up slightly. Cool. Store
in tightly sealed container.
Makes 16 (1-cup) servings.
Note: If you don't have
a large roasting pan, those extra-large disposable aluminum roasting
pans, available at supermarkets and discount stores, work very
well and can be used more than once.
