Popcorn is a must for any movie nights and it is so cheap to just make them at home! I used to buy my caramel popcorns from garrett and it is really kinda expensive for a small bag of caramel popcorn. So, I started making my own at home. These popcorns can be kept for a days or a week. If you like the crunch, feel free to add in some chopped nuts too!

For more even coating, add popcorn to a the wok and over low heat, keep stirring the popcorn to melt the caramel for more even coating.

Be extra carful when handling caramel as it can cause sugar burn
Add in some chopped nuts i.e macadamia or cashew nuts for extra crunch. Make sure you toast the nuts before adding them to the popcorn.
