Ingredients:
1/2 Cup butter
2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup corn syrup
A pinch of salt
2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup corn syrup
A pinch of salt
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
Popped popcorn
Melt butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Once melted, add condensed milk. At this point you have to stir constantly or the condensed milk will scorch. Move quickly across the bottom of your saucepan and never lift that spoon! You'll want to get the caramel to about 130 degrees. I recommend using a candy thermometer until you have made the recipe enough times to eyeball it.
The caramel should be a thick syrup consistency and a pretty medium color once it's done. Take off heat and add vanilla, stir until combined. Pour over your popcorn and enjoy!

For popcorn popping tips:
I pop my popcorn with a Whirly Pop! Get one...you won't regret it! You can get one here
So after your popcorn is popped, sift out the "old maids" with your fingers. Old maids are the kernels that didn't pop.
Put popped corn in a bowl and start mixing the caramel in- you may need to pop more popcorn depending on how much of a caramel/popped corn ratio you like!
Enjoy!!
P.s. If you have extra, caramel is delicious on sliced apples!
Enjoy!
