March Madness means munchies! This Courtside Caramel Corn courtesy of Taste of Home will be a slam dunk with friends and family.
Pop 6 quarts of popcorn and set aside. Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 2 13×9-inch baking pans.
In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups packed brown sugar, 1 cup butter (cubed), 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, stir in 3 teaspoons vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and mix well. Pour sauce over popcorn and stir until well coated. Add popcorn to prepared baking dishes and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
Cool completely before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
