Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 cups Popped popcorn
- 1 package (14 ounces) Kraft caramels
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Place popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, ensuring any unpopped kernels are removed.
Unwrap the Kraft caramels and add them to a medium-sized saucepan.
Add unsalted butter and water to the saucepan with the caramels and heat over medium-low heat.
Stir the caramel mixture frequently until the caramels are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 8–10 minutes.
Carefully pour the melted caramel over the popped popcorn, stirring vigorously with a spatula to evenly coat the popcorn.
Let the mixture cool slightly—just enough to handle safely—then grease your hands with a small amount of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Shape the coated popcorn into 3-inch balls, pressing gently to form a compact shape.
Place the caramel popcorn balls on a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper to fully set.
Wrap individually with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
