WARNING


The recipe I am about to share is highly addictive. Please do not attempt to make this unless A) you have several people to share it with or B) you are willing to throw caution to the wind and eat it all by yourself. I have chosen option B and eaten more Caramel Popcorn in the last few days than I'd like to admit. Please choose wisely.


Caramel Popcorn


1 1/1 cup unpopped popcorn

1 cup Karo syrup

2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 tsp vanilla (if desired)


Pop popcorn into VERY LARGE bowl. Mix Karo syrup, brown sugar and butter in a pot and bring to a boil until all ingredients are melted. Add sweetened condensed milk and boil another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour over popcorn and stir until completely covered. Enjoy!


P.S. Thanks to Heather for sharing this delicious treat with me!!

You and I must be on the same brain wave because I have been on a total popcorn kick as well, except mine has been white chocolate popcorn. I hate to admit it, but one day I ate a whole bowl myself, and then the next day too. Oh well!!

Oh you are not kidding about the highly addictive part. It is so hard to take just one bite. Once your hand is in the bowl you all of a sudden look down and realize that you have eaten the majority of the bowl. Oops!
