This delicious popcorn is a perfect blend of sweet and salted. It's a great treat for a Friday night while watching a movie or it even makes a terrific gift; to neighbors at Christmas, a friend recuperating from an illness, or a last minute birthday gift to the person who has everything! So easy to make and it's something the whole family can help with.

Ingredients:
-
14 cups
popped popcorn
- 2 cups whole almonds and/or roasted, salted cashews (optional)
- 1 cup pretzels broken into pieces
-
1 1/2 cups
packed brown sugar
-
3/4 cup
butter
-
1/3 cup
light-colored corn syrup
-
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Remove all unpopped
kernels from popped popcorn. Put popcorn and, if desired, nuts into a
17x12x2-inch roasting pan. Keep popcorn warm in the oven while making
the caramel mixture.
2. Butter a large piece of foil; set aside. For
caramel, in a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn
syrup. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture boils. Continue
boiling at a moderate, steady rate, without stirring, for 5 minutes
more.
3. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in baking soda and
vanilla. Pour caramel over popcorn; stir gently to coat. Bake for 15
minutes. Stir mixture; bake for 5 minutes more. Spread caramel corn on
prepared foil; cool. Place caramel corn in container and cover with
plastic wrap; or package in gift bag.
This looks delish! I may have to make some.
