The best Caramel Corn recipe ever*.

2 cups brown sugar
2 sticks of butter
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 tsp salt

Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add:
1 tsp Baking soda (It will bubble and expand the caramel, so use a big sauce pan)
1 tsp vanilla
Mix over heat another minute or so.

Stir caramel into popcorn. (I used 1/2 cup of kernels in an air popper). Spread popcorn evenly on a baking sheet, and bake at 200 degrees for an hour, turning every 15 minutes.

Munch on with your family as you sip frozen hot chocolate in front of your tree.

* Disclaimer: This is also the only caramel corn recipe I've ever tried.
