OVEN CARAMEL CORN

15 cups popped corn (microwave light butter is the best)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine or butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Divide popped corn between 3 large mixing bowls.

Heat brown sugar, margarine, corn syrup and salt over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.  Stop stirring when the mixture starts to bubble around the edges, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.  You’ll be tempted to stir, but don’t!!!

Remove from heat; stir in baking soda. Pour over popped corn; stir until well coated.  You must move quickly so the caramel doesn’t harden before coating the popcorn.  It’s nice to have a helper with strong arms.

Divide between two 9-by-13-inch baking pans.  I line the baking pans with aluminum foil so I don’t have to contend with stuck-on caramel corn in the clean up.

Bake 1 hour.
