Old Dutch Foods, based in Minnesota, is famous for its salty snacks. In this recipe you can use their popular "puffcorn" or regular popcorn.
1 bag (8 ounce size) Old Dutch "Puffcorn" or popcorn
Caramel Sauce
1/2 pound butter (not margarine)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Place the puffcorn or popcorn in a large roasting pan.
For the caramel sauce, combine the butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the baking soda (it will start to foam) and stir until well mixed.
Pour the caramel sauce over the puffcorn and stir until completely mixed. Spread out flat in the pan.
Bake at 250 degrees F for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and spread out on wax paper. Break into chunks. Store in an airtight container.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

can I use maple syrup instead of corn syrup?
It should work but it will change the flavor of course

I make this all the time and I add pecan halves to make it extra special.

This recipe is awesome by itself but if you coat the finished product with chocolate almond bark you have a to die for treat!

I've made this for years and it is always a crowd pleaser! Pretty simple to make too...if you don't have a roater pan, you can mix in a bowl and bake on a baking sheet. I'm not a fan of regular puff corn, but this version is addicting, trust me!!!
