Ingredients
- 1 cup margarine
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 2 cups firmly packed light brown Crystal Sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 6–7 quarts popcorn
- ½–1 pound salted peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Lightly grease 2 jelly roll pans (12 x 17 x 1”).
- Mix margarine, syrup and brown sugar in a 3-quart pot. Bring to a boil and boil for 6 minutes, stirring once. Take off heat and add cream of tartar, salt and baking soda. (Have soda, salt and cream of tartar measured ahead of time in a small cup so you can throw it all in at once.) With a long spoon, mix this until foamy.
- Pour mixture on popcorn. Mix well and spread on jelly roll pans.
- Bake for 1 hour in 200°F degree oven. Stir once halfway through baking and again when you remove it from oven. Cool and store.
Hint: Mixture can also be made into popcorn balls if desired.
