After 36 long days of "no treats allowed," I have started allowing Sundays to be treat day. Caramel popcorn was the first to come back on the scene. It is a family favorite of ours but can be quite addictive. This is the gooey, sticky type of caramel popcorn. Maybe Susan will post her yummy recipe for the non-gooey style popcorn!
Combine in saucepan:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cube butter
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook to "softball" stage (This is the point at which if you put a little of the mixture into a cup of cold water, it will form a soft ball. If it spreads out, it needs more time. If it makes a hard ball, you cooked it too long.)
Drizzle over popcorn. I don't know how much popcorn. I usually pop 4 bags of microwave popcorn but it just depends on how gooey you like it. I also usually spread the popcorn over jelly roll pans for easy mixing or on waxed paper for easy cleaning. Enjoy!!
Ashlynn loves treat day. Of course she prefers her Heads or Tails Double Stuf Oreos, but she'll take whatever she can get!
