Recipe: Butter Toffee Popcorn

BUTTER TOFFEE POPCORN

"The recipe I have is called "caramel corn", but everyone I made it for this year said it tasted like butter toffee popcorn. So I will rename the recipe and send it along."

1 cup butter (no substitutions)
2 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 batches popcorn
1 jar dry roasted peanuts (optional)

Melt butter, stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring mixture to boil; boil hard for 5 minutes without stirring.

Remove from heat, add baking soda and vanilla. Stir quickly and pour over popcorn and mix well. Spread in a roasting pan.

Bake for 1 hour in a 250 degree F oven. Every 15 minutes, remove from oven and stir to mix evenly. Remove from oven and spread on absorbent paper to cool.

Warning: It doesn't last long in the house! Hide some from the kids for yourself!
