Easiest Caramel Corn Ever!

It must be fall, because I am seeing more and more recipes for Caramel Corn. I've looked over a few and decided I needed EASY. This is what I came up with. Super Easy Popcorn, popped. I used my HUGE 14" Ikea bowl filled about 3/4 full, probably 30 cups of popcorn; I think I popped 4 batches. If you dont want that much popcorn, definitely cut down the carmel sauce. The sauce was perfect for that much popcorn 1 cup packed brown Sugar 1 cube (1/2 c) Butter (the real deal) 1 cup Karo Syrup or other corn syrup 1 14 oz can Sweetened Condensed milk Cut butter in to 4-6 chunks,it just helps it melt more easily. Put all ingredients in a sauce pan and heat over medium to med-high heat. Stir often, even constantly depending on your stove, and be careful or it WILL scorch. Melt all ingredients together. Just as it begins to boil remove from heat and pour over the popcorn. Don't bring to a full boil. Stir, Stir, Stir the popcorn. This is a great two-person job! Coat the popcorn, being sure to bring the popcorn up from the bottom of the pan to be coated. When all is well coated, let cool a few minutes (if you can wait) and enjoy!. I love this Caramel sauce because it stays very soft. It is a bit sticky, but that is one of the joys of Caramel Corn- licking your fingers!
