• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar

Step by step instructions

Step 1

First, line a baking sheet and parchment paper and set it aside. You will need it to spread the popcorn kernels on it in an even layer.

Tips

• For extra crunch, add some finely chopped pecans or almonds to the popcorn when baking.
• To make sure the caramel coats the popcorn evenly and adheres nicely, use a rubber spatula for stirring after adding the caramel mixture.
• If you’d like to sweeten your Werther’s popcorn even more, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled popcorn before serving.
