Olivia's Killer Karamel Korn

My daughter Olivia found this recipe and we made a couple of tweaks to it. This is a great recipe to make with the kids on a snowy afternoon like yesterday when we whipped up this batch. I'm afraid the adults ate much more than the kids though. Absolutely addictive!

Pop ½ cup popping corn in ¼ cup canola oil and 2 tsp sea salt. Set aside in a very large bowl.

In medium saucepan combine:
½ cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup corn syrup

Bring to a boil and simmer over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add:
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp baking soda

Stir well and immediately pour over the popped corn. Toss together well to coat the popcorn on all sides.

Spread on a cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees F for one hour tossing the popcorn every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and spread in a single layer on parchment or waxed paper to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
