Secret Family Recipe

Shhhhhh....

I am going to share our family's secret carmel corn recipe with you and only you.

Grandma Shantz's Carmel Corn

28 cups popped corn
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
cooking spray

Spray roasting pan with cooking spray. Pour popped corn into pan. In heavy saucepan on the stove, bring sugar, butter, and corn syrup to a boil. Boil 4 minutes and remove from stove. Add salt, soda and vanilla. This will foam when soda is added. Pour over popped corn, stirring carefully. Bake at 250 degrees for one hour. Stir carefully every 10 minutes. You won't believe how yummy it is!

I'm hoping to have time to make a big batch or 2 next week for our family Christmas.
