- 3 packages microwave popcorn , 3.5 ounce
- 2.25 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup butter
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk , 5 ounce
Instructions

Place popcorn into a large bowl. Shake the bowl and toss gently until unpopped kernels sink to the bottom. Discard unpopped kernels.

2
Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches the soft-crack stage. To test, the temperature should be between 270 to 290 degrees F (132 to 143 degrees C) and a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water should form hard but pliable threads.

Remove from the heat. Carefully pour condensed milk into the saucepan and stir until smooth.

4
Pour 1/4 of the caramel at a time over popcorn, stirring well after each addition.
