Every Christmas, we love to give a little gift to our wonderful teachers, dance teachers, family, friends & neighbors.So early in the month, I start on the first of what feels like 100 batches of carmel corn.
It's super easy and yummy!
Here's the recipe if you're looking for something fun for Christmas:
Christmas Carmel Corn
4 qts. popped corn (air-popped is best)
1 c. butter
2 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. pecans
Melt butter on stovetop. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup & salt. Bring to boil and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally, do not overcook (it will taste burnt). Remove from heat and stir in baking soda.
Pour syrup over popcorn & nuts and toss gently to mix well. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and pour on large sheet of aluminum foil to cool. When cool, it should separate easily and not be at all sticky. If it is still sticky, put it back in the oven for a few minutes.
Store in plastic bag or airtight container.
Happy Crunching!

yum, i will totally try it.
This looks good but you forgot an important step. After "Store in an airtight container." it should say, "Deliver to intended recipient." That part's critical!
