Christmas Yummy's
This is an amazing treat to have during the holidays. I was introduced to it over the weekend and thought I just had to share it with you guys. It isn't overly sweet like most items like this, and it just melts in your mouth. Trust me when you taste it you will wish you had like 20 batches already made, its just that good. It is also very easy to make and is very inexpensive.
The ingredients and directions are as follows:
- 1/2 lb butter (do not substitute margarine)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 (175 g) bag popcorn , twists
Directions:
- 1Prehead oven to 250°F.
- 2Place entire bag of popcorn twists into a large roaster.
- 3In a Large (2 qt) sauce pan, cook together butter, brown sugar and corn syrup for 2 minutes after butter has melted and it starts to gently boil.
- 4Add baking soda to mixture. This will cause mixture to foam - that is why you need a large saucepaan.
- 5Allow to foam to cook down slightly.
- 6Pour caramel mixture over popcorn twists and stir until mixed.
- 7Place in oven for 35-45 minutes, (35 for chewy corn, 45 for crunchy), stirring at least every 10-15 minutes.
- 8remove from oven and pour on wax paper.
- 9Allow to cool slightly and break apart.
I will be making this over the holidays that is a given. If you all like this or tried it and know how good it is please leave a comment below, if you want to know more about it feel free to ask. You will love it I promise you that. I am going to make some tonight I think, the holidays are just too far away! lol.
