Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups popped popcorn salted and buttered
  • 1/2 cups chewy caramels high quality for best results
  • 1/8 cup water

Instructions
 

  • On medium heat combine the water and chewy caramels and keep stirring until melted (4-7 minutes)
  • meanwhile, pop your popcorn (I recommend doing this ahead and letting it cool)
  • let the caramel cool and thicken
  • spoon the caramel onto the popcorn until fully covered! Spread evenly onto a sheet and let cool for 1 hour at room temp or 30 minutes in the fridge (or just until no longer sticky)
  • enjoy

Notes

Can be stored at room temp for up to 3 days and refrigerated for up to five
You can of course bake these after adding the popcorn for a crispier texture I prefer to just chill them :)
For best results do not freeze :)
