Ingredients
- ~8 cups of popped popcorn
- 3-5 strips of cooked bacon diced
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
- Preheat oven to 250 F (optional see note below).*
- In a large bowl combine popcorn and bacon. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add sugar, corn syrup and salt. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Reduce to medium-low heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes stirring regularly to avoid any scorching on the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from heat. Stir add vanilla and baking soda. Caramel will be foamy - this is normal.
- Pour caramel over popcorn and bacon. Stir together until completely and evenly coated.
- Spread popcorn onto greased baking sheet pans. Bake for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes.*
- Remove from the oven and let cool. Break up any large chunks and enjoy!
