Caramel Popcorn

A while back my great aunt gave me an old vintage air pop popcorn maker.
My awesome sister Katrina gave us all Popcorn bowls that are stinking O' awesome and I wanted to properly break them in. Sadie's mom has been making caramel popcorn a lot so I thought I would take a stab at it.  Yes there was again a Pinterest recipe involved.
Here is the recipe:


Caramel Popcorn

Recipe:

1 C. Brown Sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 C. light Karo syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk

It really is that simple.

All you do is melt all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once caramel is boiling cook for approximately two minutes stirring constantly.   

If using for caramel popcorn pour over popcorn immediately (this recipe will cover three bags of microwave popcorn thoroughly).  

Get yourself a spoon and enjoy!

*I think it would be so cute to put this caramel in the baby canning jars to give as gifts, just enough for a few bowls of ice cream once opened. 

Here are pictures of our process:
I didn't have a can of sweetened condensed milk so I found a substitute online and it worked just as well.  Be sure to put wax paper down to keep the mess less on your cookie trays.  I got a roll of wax paper at the dollar store.
