Servings 6 -8
Author A Cup Full of Sass

Ingredients

  • 1 bag of microwave popcorn popped
  • 1 - 11 oz. bag of Kraft Caramel Bits Unwrapped Caramel
  • 2 Tbsp. of water
  • ½ cup of candy corn or add as much as you desire or omit candy

Instructions

  • Pop a bag of popcorn and try to remove any kernels that did not pop.
  • Add popped popcorn to a large bowl.
  • Add candy corn to popcorn if you want candy and set aside. Or you can leave the candy out.
  • Add the bag of Caramel Bits in a microwaveable bowl and add 2 Tbsp. of water
  • Microwave caramel for two minutes. Check and stir caramel. Continue until caramel is melted
  • Once the caramel is melted stir well and pour over popped popcorn.
  • Stir caramel, popcorn and candy corn together until mixed well. Let cool for about a minute or two before you start to form balls. The caramel is hot. You don't want to burn your hands.
  • Lightly dampen hands with water and start forming into popcorn balls. Pack together firmly.
  • Once popcorn ball is formed place on wax paper and let harden.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Note: I recently updated this recipe using Caramel Bits (unwrapped caramel) melted in the microwave instead of using the wrapped caramels on the stovetop.
