Go
- Pop the popcorn and remove all unpopped
kernels.
- With a parent’s help, melt butter, sugar, syrup and
salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over
medium heat. Stir constantly. Allow mixture to boil for 2
to 3 minutes until sugar is fully dissolved.
- Remove mixture from heat and add baking soda.
As you stir in the soda, the mixture will nearly double in
volume!
- Divide popcorn in half and pour half the mixture
over half of the popped corn, gently stirring to cover all
the kernels with caramel. Add the rest of the popcorn
and remaining mixture. Optional: If you want crunchier
caramel corn, spread popcorn onto a baking sheet and
bake at 200 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes.
