Ingredients
15 cups popcorn, popped from 1/2 cup kernels
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) unsalted butter
2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips, melted
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips, melted
Steps to Make It
Preheat the oven to 250 F. Place the popcorn into two 13 x 9-inch pans. Make sure to remove all the unpopped kernels you can find (when they are covered with caramel and chocolate they are hard to see).
In a large saucepan, combine the salt, butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently, over medium-high heat. Boil this mixture hard for 5 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat and mix in the baking soda; the mixture will foam up, so be prepared.
Immediately pour this mixture over the popped corn. Mix thoroughly with a large spoon.
Bake the two pans full of caramel corn for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the corn is glazed and crisp. Cool completely on wire racks, stirring occasionally.
Spread the corn out onto two 15 x 10-inch pans. Drizzle with the melted white and dark chocolate chips, then let stand until set. Store at room temperature in airtight containers.
