Maple Popcorn

Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks. For every holiday or occasion, I try to sneak it in somewhere.

Alright, Alright. I must admit, I am kind of addicted to popcorn. So, maybe I make this popcorn snack every time for me. However, everyone else seems to enjoy it too.

This is my Black and Orange Maple Popcorn Recipe.

Note: Candies can be used instead of sprinkles to create your color scheme. Example: Reese's Pieces, M&M's, Crushed up Candy Canes, one or all the colors of Skittles, Coconut, Chopped Nuts or anything else you want to use to create the look you want.

1 stick butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
8-10 cups popped popcorn
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, and salt. Keep stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue to stir, and let boil for 4 minutes.
