Bubbas Friday Night Root Beer Popcorn Recipe 385

Steps:

• Bring first 6 ingredients barely to a boil. Remove from heat. Add last 2 ingredients & stir.
• Pour over popped corn & mix well.
• Bake 250º for one hour; stirring every 15 minute.

Steps:

• This recipe can also be doubled successfully. 1. Pop the popcorn kernels. Set aside in 2 large bowls. 2. Over medium heat, melt the butter in a medium sauce pan. 3. Add the corn syrup and water. Stir. 4. Add the sugar. Make sure not to let any sugar stick to the edges of the pan. If one grain of sugar is left undissolved, it can cause the whole batch to crystallize. 5. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 235-245 degrees. (Please use a candy thermometer). It is important for the mixture to reach this temperature, if it doesn't the candy will not harden properly. 6. Add the baking soda and stir quickly as the mixture begins to bubble. Once bubbly and frothy, remove the pan from heat. 7. Add the flavor and food coloring until mixed in. 8. Pour over the popped popcorn in both bowls. Fold into the popcorn until evenly coated.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; butter a muffin tin.
• In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well, adding sugar up to 1/2 cup to your own preference.
• Pour batter into the muffin tin.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden.
• Serve with honey butter (Paula's "honey butter" recipe can be found at RecipeZaar #1149320).
