Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Plain popped popcorn
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Light corn syrup
- 0.33 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, ensuring it's free of unpopped kernels. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for later use.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar and light corn syrup until combined.
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Allow it to boil for about 3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Continue to stir for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the vanilla extract and salt. Stir until fully incorporated.
Quickly pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn, carefully folding and stirring with a spatula to evenly coat all of the popcorn.
Spread the caramel-coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
Once cooled, break the popcorn into clusters and transfer it to a serving bowl or airtight container. Enjoy!
