Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup karo syrup
- 1 stick butter ½ cup
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup popcorn kernels Popped using an air popper or cook the popcorn on the stove.
Instructions
- Before starting, pop popcorn kernels using an air popper or on the stove with oil.
- Boil brown sugar, karo syrup and butter too soft ball stage.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and stir.
- Pour over popcorn and toss to coat.
Notes
- Remove all unpopped kernels from your popcorn before adding the caramel. They're nearly impossible to spot once everything is coated.
- Have your popcorn ready in a large bowl before you start the caramel. It sets quickly — you want to pour and toss immediately.
- Use the largest bowl you own. You need room to toss and coat evenly without spilling.
- Do not touch the caramel with your hands — it is extremely hot off the stove. Use a silicone spatula and allow a few minutes to cool before serving.
- Sprinkle flaky salt while the caramel is still warm. It won't stick once the popcorn cools.
