Ingredients

  • 4 quarts popped corn
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon lorann gourmet flavoring (any flavor, flavor amount can be increased as desired)

Method

  • Keep freshly-popped corn warm in large baking pan in 200°F oven.
  • Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt and cream of tartar in medium saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Cook to 250°F without stirring.
