I just spent three wonderful days with my in-laws from Georgia! We had a house full of loved ones, and it was awesome!
My sweet sister-in-law, Sarah, makes the most delicious caramel popcorn I’ve ever tasted! It’s a special family recipe. I asked her if she would make some while she was here, so I could share it with my readers. She graciously said “yes.” 
This caramel popcorn would make the best snack for any type of get together. I am going to make some for New Year’s Eve.
Here are the ingredients:
2 cups of brown sugar packed
6 quarts of popped popcorn {3 to 4 bags of microwave popcorn}
2 sticks of butter
1/2 cup of corn syrup
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
****************************
Step 1: Pop popcorn in the microwave and place in large casserole dishes. Set aside.
Step 2: Melt two sticks of butter in a large pan on medium high heat.

Step 3: Add two cups of packed brown sugar to the melted butter and stir.
Step 4: Add 1/2 cup of corn syrup to the pan and stir. {LOVE my new West Elm owl measuring cups from my Secret Santa, Melissa, from The Inspired Room!}
Step 5: Bring mixture to a boil on the stove top. Boil, while stirring, for 5 minutes.
Step 6: Take off heat and add vanilla and baking soda. Stir until it fluffs up.
Step 7: Pour mixture over popcorn.
Step 8: Toss popcorn to coat.
Step 9: Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, tossing with a fork every 15 minutes.
Step 10: Join Eli in starring at the popcorn goodness as it bakes.
Step 11: Remove from oven, let cool, and
Enjoy!
Thank you, Sarah, for sharing this special family recipe with me! I had fun cooking in the kitchen with you!
I am so glad I know this recipe, and I know I will be making it for my family for years to come.
If you decide to try it, you will not be disappointed.
Happy New Year!!
