Substitute For Baking Soda In Caramel Corn. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla extract. If making a caramel and a recipe calls for corn syrup you can substitute a dash of lemon juice or cream of tartar which performs nearly the same function.
In other cases like my Best Chocolate Sauce corn syrup is used to give it a shine. Any remaining caramel will come right of a nonstick skillet absolutely no soaking required. Carefully pour syrup over puff corn and toss to mix.

Continue stirring while you bring the mixture to a boil. Once the 5 minutes are over add in the vanilla and baking soda. Then add in the brown sugar and mix everything together really well. A nonstick pan will prevent your caramel from burning or help and is a breeze to clean.
