Caramel Corn

My friend Amanda and I made this on Thursday. It won't last through the weekend. Yummy.

2 cups light brown sugar
1/2 pound butter
1/2 cup white syrup
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 quarts popped corn, lightly salted (about 1 cup unpopped)


Bring sugar, butter and syrup to a boil; remove from heat.


Add baking soda and cream of tartar.


Stir well with a wire whisk until foamy.


Pour over popped corn in a large roaster and stir until well coated.


Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes with a wooden spoon.


Remove from oven and turn out onto waxed paper to cool.


Store in tightly sealed container.
