=A super yummy treat!!

Why does everything that tastes good have to be so bad for you?

That’s definitely the case with this recipe.

Tastes amazing!

Calorie count=not so amazing.

Well…

Amazingly high, I suppose.

Oh well.

I’ve been looking for every possible excuse to make this over the past couple of weeks.

It’s the perfect fall treat.

Easy

and

Delicious.

Which is becoming my mantra.

Caramel Corn- Old Dutch Style

1 package Old Dutch puffcorn

1 cup butter (not margarine)

1 & 1/4 cups brown sugar

2/3 cup light corn syrup

1 tsp baking soda.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a sauce pan on the stove.  Cook on medium heat until mixture has melted.  once mixtrue has melted, add the abking soda.  (Note: this will cause the mixture to foam).

Pour Old Dutch Puffcorn into a large roaster pan.  Pour caramel mixture over the puffcorn and stir until mixed. 

Bake in the oven at 250 degrees for 45 minutes.  Stir every 10-15 minutes. 

Remove from oven and pour on wax paper and break apart.  Let cool and then enjoy!

In case you don’t want to print this recipe…

It is found on the back of the Old Dutch Puffcorn bag.

You can find them in the chip aisle at the grocery store.

Also,

I recommend sharing your homemade caramel corn with others…

Or you risk devouring the entire batch on your own.

I mean…

Not that I’ve done that… ;)

Enjoy the sunshine! :)
