  • 1 cup of butter
  • 2 cups of brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of light karo syrup
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

Pop the popcorn and put in a large bowl or divide it into two 9” x 13” pans. In a large saucepan, melt and bring to a boil: butter, brown sugar, karo and salt. Boil for 5 minutes, take off heat and add baking soda.  Put hot mixture on popcorn in a large bowl and coat evenly. Put into a 275℉ oven for 45 minutes stirring every 10-15 minutes (or until golden brown and crisp) Let cool and store in a covered container.
