Ingredients
- 4 quarts popped popcorn, about 1/2 cup corn kernels like Jolly Time popped.
- 2 cups dry roasted peanuts, other nuts like walnuts or pecans work well too.
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Recipe Description
This isn’t a hard recipe to make , it’s just going to take a little time. After the corn is popped and the caramel is made, put the popped corn on a large greased pan with sides. I used a cookie sheet, if you have a roasting pan that would work well. Pour the caramel over the popcorn and mix as best you can. Put it in the oven for 15 minutes , remove from the oven and turn the popcorn. In the span of 45 minutes you will take the popcorn out of the oven and turn it to coat 3 times. The warm oven keeps the caramel soft. Every time you turn it, it’ll get easier and more popcorn will get coated. After the last turn have a piece of waxed paper ready on a flat surface and take the caramel corn off the baking sheet to cool. I can tell you now, it’s not going to last long. You’ll be making Amish Caramel Corn again! Enjoy!
