Popcorn Treats

you already know how to make popcorn. take it one delicious step further - make carmel corn!  here's a no-fail + fast recipe.

for about 8 cups popcorn (from 1/4 cup kernels)

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

• 1/4 cup Earth Balance

• 1/2 cup dark corn syrup

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

have your freshly popped popcorn in a large bowl and a sheet of parchment paper the size of a cookie sheet beside it. in medium saucepan, bring the sugar, Earth Balance, corn syrup and salt to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for two minutes. 

pour the sauce over the popcorn and give a quick stir with a wooden spoon - quickly dump the mixture onto your parchment paper.  molds nicely into popcorn balls. 

if you do that, and it is awfully nice, rinse your hands frequently in water to keep from sticking.

this recipe is easy and it will make you very happy.
