Caramel Corn

Make a simple change to jazz up this simple treat.
NEED:
15 cups of popped corn
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup light corn syrup ( I make mine with molasses---gives the flavor a "kick".)
1/2 teaspoon salt
chopped nuts - optional

Put corn in large pan. In saucepan, heat sugar, butter, syrup ( or molasses) and salt. Stir occasionally. Once it is bubbling around the edges, continue to cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Mixture will become foamy. Pour over corn and stir until well coated. Spread on sprayed or greased baking sheet (s) and bake.
Oven at 200 degrees. Bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool. Break into pieces and store in air tight container.

Enjoy!
