- 10 cups plain popped popcorn
- 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- ½ cup (1 stick or 113g) butter
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 6 ounces white baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Herbes de Provence, (see notes for how to make your own)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 225°F. Put popped popcorn in a large bowl. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and chocolate to a boil. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Immediately stir in Herbes de Provence and baking soda.
Pour caramel sauce over the popcorn, tossing to coat evenly with a spatula sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Spread coated popcorn evenly over the prepared pan.
Bake 1 hour, stirring after 30 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack. Break into clusters. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
