S’mores Caramel Corn

Adapted from: Annie’s Eats

1 cup popcorn kernels, unpopped

1 cup (2 sticks) butter

½ cup light corn syrup

2 cups brown sugar

1 tsp. salt

½ tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup graham cracker pieces

1 cup mini chocolate chips

1 cup marshmallow bits

Pop popcorn using your favorite method. Place the popped popcorn in a very large bowl (or two bowls).

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Meanwhile, to make the caramel, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, mix in the corn syrup, brown sugar, and salt. Increase the heat to medium high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.

Once the mixture reaches a boil, let the mixture continue to boil for 5 minutes - do not stir. Remove the caramel from the heat and slowly add the vanilla and baking soda. Be careful - the mixture will bubble and splatter if you add it too fast.

Pour the caramel over the popcorn and stir to combine. Spread the popcorn on 2 baking sheets covered with parchment paper. Bake for 40 minutes - stirring every 10 minutes.

Let the popcorn cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the graham cracker pieces, chocolate chips, and marshmallow bits. Allow the popcorn to cool completely before breaking apart for packaging.
