NUTTY CARAMEL CORN
This is what I call real Chicago regional cuisine. Garrets, a popcorn shop in Chicago with lines out the door always, is famous for it's caramel corn and cheese corn. I love them both and have been known at times to mix the two for that favorite of flavor combinations, salt and sweet. Cracker Jack, the best known brand of caramel corn was invented and is produced in Chicago since 1893 when it was shown, of course, at the Colombian exhibition. We're known as the Candy Capital because of the large number of Candy Manufacturers that have made Chicago there home because of good railway systems to bring in ingredients from far away and plenty of corn all over the state to make the main ingredient, corn syrup. My favorite "toy surprise inside" was a miniature blue toaster with a piece of toast. It was about 1 inch big and I still have it in my charm collection with my play food. null You can, of course, use what ever your favorite kind of nuts are. Spanish peanuts are the classic, but think open-minded and try something different. Pistachios or pine nuts perhaps.

Steps:
- Pour the sugar into the center of a deep saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Carefully pour the water around the walls of the pan, trying not to splash any sugar onto the walls. Do not stir; gently draw your finger twice through the center of the sugar, making a cross, to moisten it. Over high heat, bring to a full boil and cook without stirring until golden caramel, about 10 to 15 minutes, swirling the mixture occasionally to even out the color.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the butter. Add the popcorn, pecans, and cashews. Pour onto a silicone baking mat on the counter, or a marble surface. Let the mixture cool a few minutes; then start breaking it up into clusters, working quickly so it doesn't harden and you don't burn yourself. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Note: I use Black Diamond Popcorn with its petit size "hulless" kernel. To popcorn properly, place the kernels in a heavy-bottomed large pot and cover then with oil. Put the lid on and cook on high until you hear the first pop. Immediately take it off the heat and let it sit 1 minute. Then return it to the heat and finish popping, shaking the pan the whole time. I don't know why this is better but this is what my dad does and his popcorn was always the best.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Put the oil and 3 or 4 popcorn kernels in a large pot with a lid (at least 6 quarts). Cover the pot and turn the heat up to medium-high. Wait until you hear one of the kernels pop, then uncover the pot and add the remaining kernels. Quickly stir everything together then replace the lid. Cook the popcorn until the kernels begin popping and then reduce the heat slightly. Cook, shaking often, until the rate of popping starts to slow, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not wait for all of the kernels to pop or they will burn. Take off the heat.
- Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt in a medium pot. Heat over medium heat until melted and smooth. Stir in the baking soda.
- Pour the nuts on top of the popcorn. Then pour the caramel into the pot with the popcorn; stir to coat and spread the popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, about 20 minutes. Cool completely, and then break apart before serving.

Steps:

Steps:
- Spray large shallow roasting pan with cooking spray. I used my butter wrappers instead of spraying. Add popcorn and place in preheated 250 degree oven while preparing caramel.
- Mix brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, butter, and salt in a 2-quart saucepan. I skipped the salt because I was using salted popcorn, but your personal preference here. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Boil 5 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and vanilla and mix well.
- Pour syrup over warm popcorn and stir evenly to coat.
- Bake for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and spread on foil that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (I skipped the cooking spray here too).
- Cool and break apart. Store in tightly covered container. (I think the purpose of the tightly covered container is so you can't open and eat it as quickly).

Steps:
- Pop popcorn according to package directions.
- Have two bowls ready.
- Pour popcorn in one bowl.
- Gently Shake the bowl to get the seeds to the bottom of the bowl.
- Remove popcorn slowly into the second bowl leaving seeds in the 1st bowl.
- Toss seeds. Repeat with the second and third bag.
- Prepare 2 baking sheets with a baking mat or parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 250*F
- In a pot, add butter and cook over medium heat until melted.
- Add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
- Bring to a boil and cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring regularly so caramel doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
- After 4 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the pan from heat.
- Add vanilla extract and be prepared for the mixture to spit at you. Stir to incorporate.
- Add baking soda and stir. Mixture will become fluffy and increase in volume.
- Pour caramel mixture over your prepared popcorn.
- Stir well, careful not to touch the caramel mixture to your skin or it will burn you.
- Spread caramel corn on baking sheets, dividing mixture between the two sheets.
- Evenly space the racks in your oven so you can get both in there at the same time, one on top and one on bottom.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove caramel corn, and stir. Place back in oven on the opposite oven shelf.
- Repeat 15 minute baking and stirring intervals until caramel corn has been baked 2 times total.
