Caramel goodness...

I know it's only one day after Halloween and there are plenty of sugary treats to eat all around.  But I couldn't resist making this yummy treat when I spied the main ingredient at the store.  We have been looking for it for weeks ever since I went to the quilt shop's holiday review and one of the girls made this for treats for all the invited guests.

So here's what you need.

 Melt the butter, Karo light corn syrup and brown sugar all together.

 Add the vanilla and baking soda.

Mix everything up and bake.

Yummy tummy treats!!!

It is so awesome, trust me.

Nothing but caramel melty goodness!!!

Here's the recipe:

2 sticks of butter (1cup)

2 cups of brown sugar

1/2 cup light Karo corn syrup

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 bags Chesters puffcorn, butter flavor

parchment paper

Place the puffcorn in a large mixing bowl and set aside.  In a large saucepan combine butter, sugar and corn syrup and boil for five minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.  Stir in the vanilla and baking soda.  It will bubble up on you, so watch it.  Pour mixture over puffcorn and mix until well coated.  Place coated puffcorn on parchement paper lined pans and bake at 250F for 1 hour, stirring for 15 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool.

Then pace yourself as you are taste testing because you can go over board.  :)

It's that good.

*Just a little hint*

I mix one bag at a time in a large with bowl with half of the mixture to make sure all the little puffs are well coated.  While doing this place the saucepan back on the stove with the burner off so that the mixture doesn't cool off and harden and possibly boil over.  I also spray the mixing bowl with cooking spray so that none of the caramel mixture sticks to the bowl and gets wasted.  Can't have that.
