Ingredients

*If you do not have brown sugar you can make your own using 1 cup white sugar and 1 tablespoon molasses*

Method

  1. Make popcorn, salt to taste, and set aside.
  2. Melt butter over medium heat.
  3. Once butter is melted add in brown sugar. Stir until combined and then cook on low heat for 5 minutes without stirring. Trust the process.
  4. Add in baking soda and cook for an additional minute. The baking soda will make the cooked sugar a bit foamy. This will allow the caramel to pour much easier.
  5. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and stir to cover popcorn.
  6. Lay out on parchment paper to dry for 5 to 10 minutes.
  7. Enjoy!
