It is also good with chocolate drizzled on top when it has cooled. When given as gifts they always say it tastes like Kracker Jacks. I had found out that you can use any recipe for the caramel version but just cook it to 300° and no baking is required.
No bake caramel corn
* 8 cups popped corn
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1/4 cup light corn/pancake syrup(I use Log Cabin)
1 tsp molasses
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Can add peanuts if desired
Pop corn and sort out any leftover kernels, place in very large roaster pan.
On stove mix sugar, butter, syrup and molasses, stir/cook until sugar dissolves and cook to 300°
Add vanilla and baking soda, stir very well (add nuts now if desired)
Pour over popcorn and stir to coat as much corn as possible.
Put out on cookie sheets (2) to cool
Break into chunks and store in zip bags or airtight container.
Enjoy but keep the container closed because it seems to disappear when you are not looking.*Ü*
