Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 cups Popped popcorn
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Light corn syrup
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Begin by popping 10 cups of popcorn. Use an air popper if possible, or pop it using your preferred method. Place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl, making sure to discard any unpopped kernels.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the brown sugar and corn syrup to the melted butter. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to bubble, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the sweetened condensed milk. Continue stirring for another 3-5 minutes until the caramel is thick and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Immediately pour the hot caramel over the popcorn. Use a large spoon or spatula to gently toss and coat the popcorn evenly in the caramel. Work quickly, as the caramel will begin to set.
Let the caramel corn cool slightly before serving, about 5 minutes. The caramel will remain gooey and delicious.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
