I love love Caramel Corn. I love making it even more, its fun, its pretty easy, and its impressive lol.

I am making for the first time, cinnamon sugar caramel corn for Cowboy's Christmas Work Party that is just a few away. I also want to make some soon  for +April Musgrove and her fam for Christmas Time snacks. April  is a fabulous, cook, baker, and  candle stick maker, crafter , mother, decorator, wife, and sister. Yep she's ma sister!
I  am  going to stick to my regular recipe, with an experimental twist.

 LET US BEGIN!

• 6 quarts popped corn or 3 bags popped
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup butter
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• In a dutch oven combine sugar, butter and corn syrup, bring to a slow boil over med. Once it reaches rolling, let cook for 5 min, without stiring.
• When the 5 minz is up, remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and baking soda. The baking soda will change the look a bit, it will get lighter and kind of fluffy.
• Spray some wooden spoons with some nonstick spray.
• Poor the Hot mixture over your popcorn, ( best to put it in 2 Big metal bowels.
• Stir!
• STIR!!
• STIR MORE!!!
• Now poor the coated popcorn onto 2 cookie sheets.
• ( Don't worry! your caramel corn will look lumpy and chunky and not what you were hoping, its supposed to, your doin' Great!)
• Rotate the cookie sheets  for 15 min each @ 250 degrees, till each has roasted for an hour ( thats 4 swaps) 
• Each time you take one out and stick the other in, dump it all back in the bowl and toss
• TOSS 
• TOOSSSS!
• The corn is still warm, and this makes it get all evenly coated and pretty.
• When each pan has had its time in the oven, now all you have to do is cool, wait for crunch and EAT!

NOW,for the cinnamon sugar  twist.

Follow exactly as above, but when done and corn is cooling, not hot but still sticky, sprinkle and toss with cinnamon sugar mix.

TOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Now just wait for the compliments to come a rollin' in! :D
