Tips:

  • Be careful not to overcook the popcorn. It should be popped until it is light and fluffy, but not browned.
  • Let the popcorn cool completely before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the popcorn from getting soggy.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Store the popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
