1 cup butter (2 cubes)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
Melt butter over medium heat on stove top. Add all other ingredients when butter is melted completely. Stir constantly until all sugar is dissolved. When mixture begins to boil rapidly (not just around the edges, but completely through mixture) stir and cook 30 more seconds and then remove from heat. Do NOT over cook. The caramel will not be soft if you cook too long.
Pour over 3 (can do 4 but I like mine to be heavily coated) bags of "butter" flavor popcorn. (not movie theater butter, or extra butter, just plain "butter" flavored.
Stir until all pieces are coated evenly. Enjoy! Wait to cool down before eating!
