Carmel Popcorn

From Gretchen

2 Sticks Butter
4 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Honey (it is expensive so I usually use Kero Syrup Light)
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream (don't usually always have, so I use evaporated milk)
3 Popped Bags of Movie Theater (extra butter) Microwave Popcorn

Melt butter and then add sugar, honey (syrup), whipping cream (evap milk) and stir. Bring to a boil to a soft ball stage at around 240 degrees?I don't have a candy thermometer so once it comes to a boil I usually let it boil for about 8-10 min.REMEMBER: once it smoothed together DO NOT scrap the sides of the pan, because once on the popcorn and cools will crystalize and you don't want that.

Most of the time I can use up to 6 bags of popcorn, but maybe that is becuase I am not cooking the mixture long enough to make it harder then it usually turns out.

Enjoy!
