Cinnamon Caramel Corn

I came across this recipe a while back and wanted to try it really bad. But I didn't have some of the ingredients that it called for. So I wanted to wait to get them. After many months of not trying it and still not having some of the ingredients, I decided I was just going to try it with the ingredients that I had. So below is the recipe that I used and it turned out really good.
The original recipe is found here at our best bites.

Cinnamon Caramel Corn

What you will need:
12 C popped popcorn (about 1/2 C kernels)*
1 C brown sugar
3/4 t cinnamon
1/4 C honey
1 stick real butter (1/2 C)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

*You can use air popped or microwave popcorn. If using microwave, choose a flavor that’s low in butter and salt.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Place popcorn in a large bowl and set aside.
Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a big, 2-Quart microwave-safe bowl. Incorporate the cinnamon into the brown sugar so that is all mixed together.
Chop butter into chunks and place on top of sugar mixture. Pour honey over the top of everything.
Microwave on high for 30 seconds (just to soften the butter a bit) and then stir to combine.
Return to microwave and heat for 2 minutes. Remove and stir and then microwave for 2 minutes more.
Remove from the microwave and add in vanilla and baking soda.
Pour the mixture right over the popcorn. Stir right away, and stir a lot. If you take too long the caramel will harden on you. Keep stirring until everything is well coated.
Spread popcorn mixture onto a foil-lined cookie sheet.
Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
When it’s done, spread out your caramel corn on a clean piece of parchment, waxed paper, or foil.
When it’s cooled and hardened break into chunks and enjoy!

Doesn't that Look Delicious!

Caramel Popcorn

It has been a very long time since I have posted. I have tried a lot of recipes in the past 2 months I just haven't had time to post them. If you are craving something sweet I have the perfect thing for you. This microwave caramel popcorn is extremely easy and delicious. This recipe came from The Worldwide Ward Cookbook by: Deanna Buxton. It is such a good cookbook and it would be a good one to have if you are looking for a good one.



Ingredients:
1 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup butter
1/2 Cup corn syrup
1.2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 quarts popped popcorn or two bags microwave popcorn

1. In a large glass bowl, combine brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Cook in the microwave for 5 minutes; you don't need to stir it.
2. Remove from microwave. Stir in the vanilla and baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
3. Pour mixture over the popped corn and stir. Shape it into balls or just eat it from the bowl. Makes about 20 popcorn balls.

When I made this I cut the recipe in half, but remember to cut the microwave time in half as well. If not make sure to use hot pads, so you won't burn yourself on the hot bowl. Good Luck and enjoy!
