Ingredients
9-10cupspopped popcorn(about 2 bags)
1cuplight brown sugar, packed
½cupsalted butter
½cup light karo syrup
1teaspoonKosher salt, use 1/2 teaspoon if popcorn is salted
Preheat the oven to 250°F. Spray a large bowl with non stick spray. Place popcorn in the bowl and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large heavy bottom pan, melt the brown sugar, butter, and karo syrup. Add the salt and stir until combined. Stir continually until melted.
Bring the brown sugar mixture to a light boil. Once it is at a light boil, remove the spoon and continue to cook 4 minutes without stirring, or until the caramel color deepens or reaches 240°F. Do not walk away, you don't want it to burn.
Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda. Pour over popcorn. Add 1-2 additional cups popcorn, if needed. Stir until well coated.
Pour the caramel corn on top of the baking sheet. Spread out evenly and bake 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and sprinkle half of the snickers on top. Place back in the oven 2 minutes. Remove from oven and stir.
Immediately top with the remaining snickers and serve.
Notes
Variations:
Some other fun candy bars to try are Milky Way or Twix.
Cleaning pan: If the caramel is stuck in your pan, add hot water and bring it back to a boil. This will break down the sugars. Then use hot pads to dump and clean once cooled. Storage: Once cooled, store in a sealed container for up to 1 week.
