Makes about 16 cups of caramel corn
Ingredients
- ½ cup unpopped popcorn kernels (about 16 cups popped corn)

- 1½ - 2 tsp kosher or sea salt, divided
Instructions

- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
- Pop popcorn kernels using air popper into a large bowl.
- In a small saucepan melt butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and 1 tsp salt together over medium heat. Bring to boil. Boil for 4 minutes without stirring.
