Chewy Caramel-Coated Popcorn

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min. YIELD: about 6 quarts.
When I was a kid, my mom made this recipe often. I've adapted it to make it more chewy and gooey than her crunchy, nut-loaded version. I get requests to make this for every event that I host, and have never had a single leftover! —Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups butter, cubed
  • 2-2/3 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup golden syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 24 cups popped popcorn

Directions

  • 1. Line two 15x10x1-in. pans with parchment. In a large heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and syrup, stirring to dissolve brown sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat and quickly stir in vanilla.
  • 2. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn; stir lightly to coat. Using a rubber spatula, press popcorn into prepared pans. Cool. Pull apart into pieces. Store in airtight containers.
