I am making this today for Elena to take to a party. They specified to bring Halloween snacks.
I don't know how easy it is to find this recipe so I thought I would share it.
3 3/4 quarts ( 15 cups) popped corn ( I wouldn't use the bags with oil or butter added. Just plain!)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon ( tsp) salt
1/2 tsp baking soda ( wait to read before throwing this in!)
Heat oven to 200 F. Divide popped corn between 2 ungreased baking pans 13 by 9 by 2 inches ( or a roasting pan if you're multiplying the recipe)
Heat sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt, stirring occasionally, until bubbly around the edges. Continue cooking over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add the baking soda until foamy. Pour over the popped corn, stirring until the popcorn is coated. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Then you'll need to clean your kitchen and wash the floor! I made the popcorn in a cast iron pan using olive oil, because I ran out of other cooking oils. I have an old flat cover that I put on the pan and keep jiggling it to coat the popcorn and help the heat distribute evenly.
