Since I have nothing else to do while trying to go into labor, I came up with this deliciousness! Chocolate covered Caramel Popcorn!! I am awesome. Your welcome.
Caramel Corn
* This recipe has to have real popped popcorn (by stove or air popper) you CAN'T use microwave... it won't work.
12 cups popped popcorn (2/3 cup kernels)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 cups mixed deluxe nuts
(if you don't want to use nuts, pop 15 cups of popcorn)
Pop popcorn until you have 12 cups, put in really large bowl, add nuts and mix.
In a pan heat the butter, light brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt on medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Stir in the baking soda.
Pour over the popped popcorn and stir till well coated.
Put on large ungreased cookie sheet or two....
Bake at 200°F for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and start making chocolate!
Chocolate Stuff
I make each pkg separately. 1 for each pan...
2 pkg milk chocolate chips
2 tsp shortening (1 tsp for each pkg)
In a microwave safe bowl, place 1 pkg chocolate chips with 1 tsp of shortening.
Microwave about 2 minutes, until chocolate is shiny
Remove and stir until melted.
Quickly stir on to caramel popcorn.
Cool completely, before eating
Enjoy the goodness...
