Ingredients

• 1 C butter
• 1 C light corn syrup
• 2 C packed light brown sugar
• ½ C granulated sugar
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 8-12 C popped popcorn less will be messier, and gooier, but I like it, more for a looser caramel popcorn

Instructions

1. Bring the butter, syrup, and sugars to a boil, keep bubbling over med heat until it hits the softball stage (240 degrees - use a candy thermometer)
2. Add the sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla and boil 1 more min - let it cool a few mins so it doesn't shrink the popcorn.
3. pour over the popcorn and stir
4. gooey caramel popcorn
5. serve immediately
6. popcorn balls
7. spread the popcorn out and let it start too cool
8. spray your hands with cooking spray and portion it out into 8 sections and ball up.
9. Continue to check back and ball and turn until they cool enough that they stay in their ball forms
10. crunchy caramel popcorn
11. IF you want crunchy popcorn preheat your oven to 250 - spread it out in a pan and place in the oven and bake for like 20-30 mins, stirring occasionally, until it crisps up
