This recipe comes from my amazing friend Fiona.  Thanks Fi ♥

Preheat oven to 250ºF

2 bags popcorn twists
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1-1/2 tsp baking soda

Place entire bag of popcorn twists into a large roaster. (Since this process is messy, I like to use the foil, disposable type.)

In a large saucepan, cook together butter, brown sugar and corn syrup.  Bring to a boil.  Gently simmer for 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and add baking soda to mixture. This will cause mixture to foam.  Stir down foam for a minute or two.

Pour caramel mixture over popcorn twists and stir until mixed.

Place in oven for 45 minutes stirring every 15 minutes.  Remove from oven and pour on wax paper.  Allow to cool slightly and break apart.  Store in an airtight container.
