Caramel Corn with Nuts
One Christmas my mom decided to try this caramel corn recipe. It became an instant family classic. Every year I continue the tradition by baking several batches and giving out bags of caramel corn to all of my friends and family.
12 cups unsalted popcorn
3 cups walnuts halves, pecan halved or unblanched almonds. Use one or a combination of the nuts.
1 cup packaged brown sugar
½ cup butter
¼ cup light corn syrup
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda.
Begin by preheating oven to 200 degrees. Divide the popcorn and nuts between 13×9x2 pans, ungreased.
Cook brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly around edges.
Cook for 5 more minutes, remove from the heat.
Stir in baking soda until foamy.
Pour over popcorn and nuts.
Toss until well coated.
Bake one hour stirring every 15 minutes.
