Moose Munch Caramel Popcorn

Directions

1. 1
   Pop 3/4 cup unpopped popcorn, remove any unpopped kernels.

   In a medium saucepan melt your butter, then add the brown sugar and light Karo syrup.
4. 4
   Stir together and bring to boil for five minutes.
5. 5
   Remove from the stove and immediately stir in the baking soda, vanilla and salt.
6. 6
   Stir until well combined and smooth.
7. 7
   Pour the hot caramel over the popcorn and nuts in a large bowl and mix until the popcorn and nuts are well coated.
8. 8
   Separate into two sheet pans and bake in a 200 oven for one hour stirring every 15 minutes. *I line my baking sheets with a Silicon Baking Mat which allows the melted chocolate to come off the sheet pan easily and not stick to the pan.
9. 9
   After baking the popcorn, drizzle the melted chocolate chips over one of the pans of popcorn and let it sit until the chocolate has hardened. *To speed it up, you can place it in the freezer or the refrigerator.
