How to Make Butter Caramel Popcorn
Air pop two batches of popcorn. My Popcorn Popper takes about ⅓ Cup of kernels per batch.
To make the caramel sauce, combine all ingredients except for the vanilla, in a pan over medium heat. When sauce begins to boil cook 5 to 7 minutes longer, stirring constantly. This is where you can decide if you would like sticky popcorn or crunchy popcorn. The longer you boil the sauce the harder it will dry. We like it a little sticky at my house so we usually go between 5 - 6 minutes. Then add the vanilla. Have the popcorn ready to go in a large bowl and pour sauce over the popcorn. Stir and mix well.
Lay a couple of long pieces of wax paper on your table or counter and spread the popcorn out so it can cool. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Break into pieces and enjoy! You can store leftovers in a container, but we usually don't have a lot of leftovers. 🙂

My mother made this when we were younger and I used to make it for our daughter. I only make it once a year or so as it is so terribly fattening. It is wonderful!!!!
