Ingredients
- 20 cups Freshly popped popcorn (20 cups equals filling the air popper to the line twice. Also, yellow corn kernels work way better than white corn kernels; white kernels shrivel up when you pour the caramel sauce on it. )
- 1 cup Nucoa, butter or earth's balance
- 2 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup karo light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon gluten free vanilla
Optional
- 1 cup nuts ( cashews or peanuts work well)
Note
My mom has made this recipe since my sisters and I were young. Mom was visiting us last summer and she decided to alter the recipe to fit the dietary needs of my son and it turned out great! Thanks, mom!

| 1. | Pop popcorn. Combine popcorn and nuts (if using) in a ligtly greased roasting pan. | |

| 3. | Melt butter in a medium saucepan; mix in brown sugar & corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. | |

| 5. | Pour sugar mixture over popcorn and stir until well coated. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. | |
