Baked Caramel Corn
4 quarts CAMP MASTERS popcorn (popped)
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Brown sugar
1/4 cup Corn syrup
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Vanilla
2/3 cup Nuts (almonds, pecans, peanuts, etc)
Pop corn and remove unpopped kernels. Spread corn on a large cookie sheet, and
preheat in a 250 degree F. oven.
In a saucepan, melt butter, and stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir
constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to boil without stirring
for about 5 minutes (240 degrees F). Remove from heat, and add baking soda and
vanilla, stirring until foamy. If nuts are used, add them now, stirring until
heated through, and no longer clumped up.
Pour syrup mixture over preheated popcorn, and stir to coat. Bake for about 30
minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times to evenly distribute the coating. For a
crunchier (Cracker Jack) taste, bake about 60 minutes longer, stirring
occasionally. Cool, break up and store airtight.
Cheddar Cheese Popcorn
2/3 cup CAMP MASTERS popcorn (unpopped)
1/3 cup Butter
1 cup Finely grated cheese (cheddar or colby), (use more if you want it
cheesier)
salt to taste
pepper
Pop the popcorn. Melt the butter. Grind some pepper into the butter. Stir.
Layer the cheese into the popcorn. Pour the butter mixture on top, and salt.

1/2 cup CAMP MASTERS popcorn, unpopped
Oil for popping
3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
a dash of salt
Heat oil in heavy medium pan until hot. Add pop corn and sprinkle all of the
sugar over it and add a small dash of salt. Cover and shake quickly and
continuously until popped. Remove from heat immediately. (Makes about 1 quart)
