Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- ½ cup salted butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F and grease 2 large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pop the kernels in an air popper and remove any kernels that did not pop. Place popcorn in a very large bowl, big enough to stir popcorn.
- In a medium skillet, combine butter, honey, brown sugar and salt.
- Over medium heat, bring caramel to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, gently whisking the whole time.
- Remove from heat and quickly whisk in baking soda.
- Pour caramel over popcorn and stir to evenly coat as best you can.
- Spread popcorn onto sheet pans in a single layer.
- Bake the popcorn for 45 minutes stirring and rotating pans every 15 minutes. Fold the popcorn with a rubber spatula and rotate pans by switching between racks to ensure even baking.
- Stir popcorn one last time and spread into even single layer and let caramel corn cool completely.
- Once cooled, break apart and enjoy!
