Caramel Popcorn (Garrett's Caramel Crisp Copycat, READ UPDATE IN DESCRIPTION BELOW)

Caramel Popcorn (Copycat Garrett’s Caramel Crisp, American Favorite) UPDATE: Two subscribers complained about the caramel coating recrystallizing. Best way to prevent this from happening is to add 2 tbsp of corn syrup (in place of the baking soda). I have tested this and it works better. The reason I did not include the corn syrup is because it has high fructose & not that good for you. But the sugar is not any better. So, the key is moderation. When I make this recipe I mix the caramel coated popcorn with plain popcorn. Somehow it makes it even better! UPDATED INGREDIENTS: 1. 5 cups (235 ml. each) popped popcorn 2. 175 gr. (3/4 cup, packed) light granulated brown sugar 3. 30 ml. (2 tbsp.) water 4. 70 gr. (2.5 oz.) butter 5. 5 ml. (1 tsp.) vanilla extract 6. 2.5 ml. (1/2 tsp.) salt 7. REPLACE (1.25 ml. (1/4 tsp.) baking soda) WITH 2TBSP CORN SYRUP Notes: 1. Based on a 235 ml (US cup), 15 ml. tbsp. and 5 ml tsp. 2. Use a 50%/50% combination of air popped mushroom popcorn and butterfly popcorn.
