This caramel popcorn is the easiest & best I've tried. I salt the popcorn lightly before adding to the caramel for a "salted carmel" flavor that is so popular. Make sure you double what you think you need because it goes super fasat. Also, make sure you make it in your largest pot (I used my huge stock pot) since it's best to add popcorn to the caramel and not the other way around.
