Ingredients

1/2 cup uncooked popcorn kernels (yields about 13 cups popped)
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup light karo syrup
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Pop your popcorn kernels in an air popper machine and pop into a large bowl. Set aside.
On medium-high heat in a medium saucepan, cook the brown sugar, butter, and Karo syrup. Allow coming to a boil. Add sweetened condensed milk.
Allow to softly boil for about 3-4 minutes until it gets to the softball stage. Be careful to not cook too long and allow it to burn.
Remove from heat and carefully stir in baking soda.
Pour the caramel over the popped popcorn. Mix with a wooden spoon to make sure that it can all be coated evenly. Enjoy!
