Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings 3 (2.9 ounce) bags microwave popcorn, popped 1 cup brown sugar ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk ½ cup corn syrup ¼ cup butter ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Pour popcorn into a large bowl. Combine brown sugar, condensed milk, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until a candy thermometer reads 234 degrees F (112 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Pour over popcorn; stir to coat evenly. Scoop some of the popcorn mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Gather and twist the plastic wrap to shape into a ball. Place popcorn ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; repeat with remaining mixture. Let cool until set, about 5 minutes. Cook's Note: Substitute margarine for the butter if desired. Substitute air-popped popcorn for the microwaved variety if desired.
