soft caramel popcorn.

this recipe has to be fool-proof because i've made a few (or attempted to) make a few batches of caramel corn and either they come out too chewy, too sugary/grainy or there is not enough coating for the popcorn.

i got this from my friend, ariana who is a great cook and loves to bake especially.

 pic from {taste spotting}. 

ariana's popcorn is actually lighter in color (more tan) and better coated, but hey, this pic works too!

soft caramel popcorn: this makes a large bowl.
1/2 C. popcorn kernels (or more, to fill a large bowl)
2 C. brown sugar
1 stick butter
pinch of sea salt
1 C. corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk

1) combine sauce ingredients and bring to a boil, boiling for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn't boil over.  don't boil too long or the sauce will go sugary/crystallize.

2) pop popcorn and then pour sauce over popcorn and stir well until coated.

enjoy!!!
