For best results, use freshly popped popcorn. Stale popcorn will absorb the caramel and become soggy. To prevent the caramel from sticking to your pot, lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray before starting. Leftover caramel can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable. For a richer flavor, use salted butter or add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel mixture. Add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles for an extra touch of indulgence.
