Steps
- Place popped corn in a large bowl, making sure to remove all unpopped kernels. Set aside.
- Prepare two greased (I use coconut oil) 15 x10 x 1 inch baking pans. Set aside.
- In a large heavy saucepan, combined sugar, corn syrup, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium to medium high heat. Once to a full boil, cook for five minutes stirring constantly. (290 degrees/soft crack stage on a candy thermometer). Remove from heat and quickly stir in lemon extract and baking soda.
- Pour over reserved popcorn. Stir till well coated.
- Spread the mixed popcorn evenly into the greased pans. Bake at 225 for one hour, stirring every 20 minutes. Spread out on parchment paper to cool.
- Melt and generously drizzle lemon flavored candy coating over cooled popcorn. Once the coating has set, store in airtight containers.
- Note: 1/4 cup of unpopped kernels equals about 4 cups of popped corn.
