Ingredients
- 12 cups Popped popcorn
- 1 package (14 ounces) Kraft caramels
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Place popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, ensuring any unpopped kernels are removed.
Step 2
Unwrap the Kraft caramels and add them to a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 3
Add unsalted butter and water to the saucepan with the caramels and heat over medium-low heat.
Step 4
Stir the caramel mixture frequently until the caramels are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 8–10 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully pour the melted caramel over the popped popcorn, stirring vigorously with a spatula to evenly coat the popcorn.
Step 6
Let the mixture cool slightly—just enough to handle safely—then grease your hands with a small amount of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Shape the coated popcorn into 3-inch balls, pressing gently to form a compact shape.
Step 8
Place the caramel popcorn balls on a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper to fully set.
Step 9
Wrap individually with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
