Caramel Corn

1 C packed brown sugar
1/2 C light corn syrup
1/3 C butter
1 T molasses

1 1/2 t vanilla
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
12 C popcorn (I use one large bag 98% fat free microwave popcorn)

Preheat oven to 250. Coat a large jelly roll pan (has 1 inch sides) with cooking spray.

Combine sugar, syrup, butter and molasses in a saucepan, bring to a boil, cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring once.

Remove pan from heat, add vanilla, soda, and salt.

Pour sugar mixture over popcorn, stirring well to coat. Spread mixture onto prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring at 15 minutes. Let cool and break apart.

If you find that the popcorn is still "chewy" after it cools you may need to bake it a little longer.

One of our favorites

This is absolutely one of our favorite dishes. The ingredient list is long but it is very easy to assemble. It also reheats/freezes very well.
