Flavored Popcorn Crunch recipe

Like sweet crunchy caramel corn, but forthis candied popcorn, you choose the flavoring.

Recipe: Flavored PopcornCrunch

15 cups popped corn, unpopped kernelsremoved2 cups granulated sugar1 cup butter1/2 cup light corn syrup1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon baking soda1 tablespoon desired flavoring* (yourchoice)Food coloring (optional)

Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C).Place popped corn in a large, ungreased roastingpan or divide popped corn between two 13 x 9 x 2-inch bakingpans (less desirable but it works, see note).

Combine sugar, butter, corn syrup andsalt in 2-quart or larger saucepan. Bring to a boilover medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5 minutes,without stirring. Remove from heat,stir in flavoring, food coloring (if using) and the baking sodaand mix well. Mixture will become foamy.

Immediately pour hot mixture over poppedcorn and quickly toss to coat. (Ordivide evenly between the two pans.) Don’t expect all corn tobe coated, that will happen in the course of baking.

Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.Remove from oven, immediately turn out of pan(s) onto a foil-linedcounter top and break up slightly. Cool. Storein tightly sealed container.

Makes about 1 gallon. Recipe can be doubled.

* Lorann brand concentrated oil flavoringswork best.

Note: If you don’t have a large roastingpan, those extra-large disposable aluminum roasting pans, availableat supermarkets and discount stores, work very well and can beused more than once.
