Yum. This caramel corn was buttery, crispy and did not burn. 200 for one hour seems to work. I did make 2 changes. I added a tablespoon of vanilla along with the baking soda and used 11 cups of popcorn. -
Quick, easy and delicious! I like the fact that you don't need a candy thermometer. This is the quickest treat I've made this holiday season. Two regular bags of microwave popcorn, popped, works great for the amount of popcorn needed. -
Delicious. I also added 1 tbsp of vanilla. I halved the recipe and baked it for about 40-45 minutes at 200.
