Caramel Popcorn

My hubby loves carmel popcorn. I myself prefer boring old regular popcorn. The other day my cute neighbor made some and brought it over. My hubby LOVED it. He asked her for the recipe. He got all excited when she text it to me. It is fairly easy but I will say it did make me extra nervous to pour it over the popcorn.

2 cups butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 can sweetended condensed milk
1 cup Karo syrup
5 bags of popcorn or if you air pop about 1 1/2 cups of kernels.  Pop it first:)
Boil to a soft ball stage. (235 degrees)  It is easiest to use a candy thermometer but if you don't have one click on the link. Once it has come to a soft ball stage remove from heat and let it cool a bit.  About 5-10 minutes.  You can check by placing a piece of popcorn in the caramel.  If it shrinks down it is still to hot.  If not proceed.  I poured little amounts, about a cup at a time, stirred, and poured again.  Do this until it is only poured over the top.  Enjoy.

*REMOVE ANY UNPOPPED KERNELS BEFORE YOU POUR ON THE CARAMEL
