Now I am about to share my ultimate, favorite recipe for a sweet & salty snack...I think the people at Old Dutch called it something like..."Popcorn Twist Caramel Corn"....but I simply call it....
Caramel Corn Crack
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Pour 1 bag popcorn twists (large blue bag) in large roaster.
Then, in large pot - heat the following -
1 cup butter (not margarine)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
Heat to bubbling, and then let bubble slowly for 1 minute. Take off heat and add 1/2 tsp. baking soda. Mixture will foam up. Pour mixture over popcorn twists and stir until all popcorn twists are coated.
Bake in oven for 45 minutes, (if you want it softer, bake 30 minutes) stirring every 10 minutes. When finished, spread on two large cookie sheets, cool, and break apart. Now see how long this will last in your house ~ I dare ya!!! I bag mine in ziplocs and freeze with good intentions, but clearly nothing short of a lock on the freezer will save this stuff!!!
