Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 8 cups - popped popcorn
- 3/4 cups - packed light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons - butter
- 3 tablespoons - light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoons - butter extract
- 1/4 teaspoons - baking soda
- 1 cups - pecan halves
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and remove any unpopped kernels.
Stir together the brown sugar, butter and light corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat (note: if you are using unsalted butter, you will want to add salt in next step). Stir until butter has melted and mixture reaches a slow bubble. Stop stirring and allow mixture to boil for 4 minutes.
Remove from heat immediately and stir in butter extract and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up a bit. Stir in salt, if using. Stir in the pecan halves.
Pour the caramel-pecan mixture over the popcorn. Use a large rubber spatula to stir quickly but gently.
Spread the popcorn evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, 10 for chewy and 15 for crunchy. Let cool in the pan about 10 minutes before serving.
Chewy popcorn should be eaten the day of. Crunchy will last up to 1 week in an airtight container.
