Pour into two greased 13-in. x 9-in.x 2-in. baking pans. Bake, uncovered, at 250 degrees F for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool completely. Store in airtight container or plastic bags.

3. Still Hungry?
'Can't stop eating it!' say guests about my caramel corn. For our basketball party. I fix enough to fill a big red tin decorated with the University of Arizona logo. The delectable syrup coats the popcorn well but isn't sticky.

Love it!
Brenda - March 21, 2007 01:00:56 PM PSTYes... I have been making my caramel corn this way for years. Folks love it... and I am always passing out the recipe too. I like to toss into my caramel mixture prior to pouring over the popped corn, a couple handfuls of walnuts. The heat of the hot carmel pulls the walnut oils out... and the caramel corn is only enhanced. Its a wonderful thing!

My family's favorite snack!
agodlydecorator - May 1, 2007 06:22:15 AM PSTI got this recipe originally in my Taste of Home magazine a few years back and this is definitely my family's favorite snack recipe. I have made it several times and even let my kids help with the stirring. We make it when we have an evening of TV football or family game night. I was so surprised to see it on the Yahoo home page. I'm printing it off for my recipe box as I have so many TOH magazines and sometimes cannot find the recipe right away but have to look through several magazines before finding it. I am just so glad to see it here!

A snack to fight over!
Becky B - April 16, 2007 03:03:43 PM PSTGot this same recipe in a book called "A Family Raised On Sunshine", it was a wedding gift 28 years ago. Been making it for my family for years, they fight over it. I also add different nuts to the recipe for varation. Pecans are a good choice.
