Baked Carmel Corn

This is one of my Christmas traditions. Great to give as a gift.

ingredients

1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 quarts popped corn

directions

Pop corn and set aside. Pick out unpopped kernels. Melt butter, stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Boil without stirring 5 more minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and vanilla. Gradually pour over popped corn mixing well. Turn into two large shallow baking or roasting pans. Bake 2 hours in 250° oven stirring every 15 minutes. When cool, break apart and store in tightly covered container. Makes about 5 quarts of carmel corn.
