Let it rest
6
Let this caramel mixture rest at room temperature for about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes or until it starts thickening slightly.
7
Coat popcorn

Pour caramel over popcorn and use a spatula to toss popcorn until fully coated. Work quickly!
9
Spread in trays
10
Spread out this coated popcorn in 1 very large baking tray or 2 medium-sized baking trays, lined with parchment paper.
11
Bake at 225 degrees F for ⏱️ 45-60 minutes. Remove tray from oven every ⏱️ 15 minutes and toss popcorn with spatula and break any big clumps. I usually just have to do 3 intervals but on really humid days, 4 intervals gives better results.

Transfer to another tray

Transfer the baked popcorn to another baking tray, lined with parchment paper.

Let it cool at room temperature and enjoy!
