Caramel Corn

Ingredients:
3 bags of popped microwave popcorn
2 sticks of butter
1 cup corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar

Directions:
Combine all ingredients together in a pot (except popcorn) and bring to a boil.
Boil until it reaches a soft ball stage on a candy thermometer.
Pour mixture over popcorn and mix together well.

Total time 30 minutes. Serves a lot.

Verdict:
My friend Cathy used to make this for me. She would send a bag home with me and I would eat it all myself. Because it is gooey, sticky, yummy goodness. If you are one of those people, like Blake, that like crunchy popcorn then this is not for you. But you "only like crunchy caramel corn popcorn eaters" are silly. That being said...when I asked Cathy for the recipe this was included in the directions and I thought it was funny.

"If you're feeling a whole lot of love for your family, it helps if you try to sift out the kernels that didn't pop before you pour the caramel over it."
