    The best Caramel Popcorn recipe! You will be thankful that it is easy to make because it disappears fast and leaves everyone asking for more!
    Caramel Popcorn
    Hi, I’m Hannah, and Laureen is basically one of my "aunties". I married her son's childhood best friend and she has recruited me to contribute a guest blog post. With the Christmas season in full swing, it seemed appropriate to share a holiday legacy that has been passed down for 3 generations and is always a hit... Caramel Popcorn. Aside from being dangerously addictive, this recipe is simple and great for even non-bakers. It also makes a great, inexpensive gift for friends or coworkers - just put it in Christmas themed cellophane bags, tie a bow around the bag, and voila! a delicious, easy gift for a lot of people!

    When making this recipe it is important that the mixture foams up after adding the baking soda. It will lighten to a creamy caramel colour.

    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla

    • Remove from heat and stir in baking soda until it foams up significantly.
    • Add vanilla and stir. 
    • Pour the mixture over the popped corn in the large bowl and stir to combine until evenly coated.
    • Spread on two cookie sheets.
