Air-Popped Popcorn

My original recipe says 24cups. I normally do not measure the popped popcorn. I have a very large roasting pan, that I fill with the popped corn-and that is my guide.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup butter
  • 4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • Maldon sea salt(I get this salt at Williams Sonoma in Calgary)
  • Dark chocolate flakes

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, add the butter, br. sugar, corn syrup and salt.
  • Once it all melts, give a quick stir and then just leave it until it boils. Boil for 5 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat and add the baking soda and vanilla. Stir.
  • The mixture will start to double in size so watch closely and pour mixture over the popped corn. Stir the mixture thoroughly.
  • Bake in the oven for 1 hour at 250 degrees. Stirring it every 15 minutes.
  • Once out of the oven-continue to stir for it hardens quite easily.
  • I then sprinkle the sea salt over the popcorn and also sprinkled the dark chocolate flakes. Let cool.
  • You can store in whatever container you have. This is a very large recipe so I usually give some away as gifts-thus using small Christmas cellophane bags.
