Wrap this up for Christmas to give as gifts. This is a delightful treat that everyone loves.
3 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 pound dipping milk chocolate (or dark chocolate)
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place the popcorn in a big roasting pan (I like to use the aluminum roasting pans you can pick up at the grocery store). Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and boil 5 minutes stirring constantly. Add soda and stir. Pour caramel over popcorn and mix well. Bake popcorn one hour, stirring every 10-15 minute with a wooden spoon. Remove from oven and cool completely. Melt half of chocolate per package directions, melt more later if you need to. You can drizzle the chocolate over the caramel corn or you can dip popcorn pieces in the chocolate and place the chocolate-covered popcorn on wax paper to cool.
