10 cups prepared (popped) popcorn
1 cup (2 sticks) of vegan butter
2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup peanuts (Optional)
Pop the Popcorn and place 10 cups popped popcorn in a large Roasting Pan. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the vegan butter, brown sugar, salt, and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Continue to boil for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda until well combined.
Pour the sugar mixture over the popcorn and toss the peanuts in now, if using.
Using a large spoon or spatula, stir to coat the popcorn. Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Spread the caramel corn onto waxed paper to cool.
