Salted Caramel Popcorn

Salted Caramel Popcorn is the name of the game tonight courtesy of Shelly over at Cookies and Cups. To God be the glory that I had enough after one serving and didn't dive right in. All things in moderation remember? If you love caramel this one is for you.

Note: I didn't pop my popcorn in a popper. I used a good old fashion pot on the stove. Also if you wanted to make this a tad bit healthier, I think you could cut down a little bit of the butter and sugar and get the same effect. I think a 1/2 cup of each would be fine. (I'll try this next time and post an update if it works out good).
Also make sure you take out the popcorn kernels before you pour the caramel topping on.

Let me know if you try it!

Happy Saturday!!!
