How To Make easy vanilla carmel popcorn
-
Step 1In a medium saucepan, over medium/high heat, melt the butter.

Step 2Add the vanilla, salt, and light brown sugar. Stir until well incorporated.

Step 3Add the heavy cream. Stir constantly until caramel reaches 235-240 degrees (soft ball stage). Should take about 10 minutes. -
Step 4When soft ball stage is reached, remove saucepan from heat immediately. Let sit for a moment or two.

Step 5Make sure that your popcorn is in a ginormous bowl so that you have plenty of room for stirring.
