Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
- Pop the Corn: Use an air popper or stovetop method. For stovetop, heat a pot over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil, then the kernels. Cover until popping slows down.
- Melt Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until completely liquefied—avoid browning.

- Drizzle with Caramel: Pour half a cup of caramel sauce over the popcorn mixture. Stir gently to ensure every piece is covered.
- Add Candy Corn: Sprinkle one cup of candy corn into the buttery popcorn and toss again to distribute evenly.
- Let It Set: Spread the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
