We love autumn at our house! 
There are so many sight, sounds, a nd fragrances of the season. We are thankful for cooler weather, beautiful colors on the trees, warm fall candles in scents of pumpkin and apple, and a variety of yummy foods to choose from!
When we think of fall we think of caramel corn! I thought I would share with your our favorite fall treat! Enjoy it together while watching a fun family movie or playing a fun board game!
Caramel Corn
6 qt. popped corn
(You can use 3 microwave bags but I’m too
frugal so I pop it in a large covered pan on the stove.)
In a sauce pan melt and stir:
2 c. brown sugar
2 sticks butter (salted)
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
Cook and stir occasionally over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Once it comes to a rolling boil keep it on medium and stir constantly for 5 minutes (keeps it from scorching). Remove from heat and add 1/2 tsp. baking soda and stir. Pour it over the corn (the bigger bowl to fold it in, the better!) and fold until coated.
Pour onto 2 cookie sheets with raised edges (don’t grease them). Bake 200 degrees for an hour…important…gently flip over the caramel corn with a pancake flipper every 20 minutes.
Store in airtight container…assuming your family hasn’t devoured it in an evening…as ours definitely can!

I love to make caramel corn!! Thank you for sharing your recipe! Thank you, also, for the reminder to “celebrate”. I tend to become pragmatic because the “list” is so long each day. When I am in that mind-set, I can use sweet reminders to have fun, too!!!
YUM! Thanks for this. You can pop the popcorn in the microwave too, using brown lunch bags. 1/4 of a cup or so at a time.
Yes, I’d heard that…just never been brave enough to try it! LOL! : )
So was I!! There was a major “eekkk” factor going on that first time. Now the whole family is hooked. I don’t know why it works so well..but it does
This sounds so yummy! We got a microwave popcorn popper as a wedding present 25 years ago. We use it at least once a week and it’s still going strong. I have no idea if they still make them. Ours is Rubbermade brand.
I’ll have to look and see if I can find one! No more burned kernels to pick out!
I made this with my daughter this morning and it is so good! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
You’re welcome! So glad you like it!
We made this this morning for a Family Movie Night tonight, and it is SO yummy! I hope there is some left! My daughter (2 1/2) and I had so much fun making it! Her job was to watch the popcorn come out of the popper, while i made the caramel. We are now waiting for it to be ready and out of the oven for the last time, though each time we have had a small piece when we flipped it over. YUM!
