Easy Caramel Popcorn Balls Recipe

Pour popcorn into a large bowl.

Combine brown sugar condensed milk corn syrup butter and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook stirring often until a candy thermometer reads 234 degrees F (112 degrees C) about 5 minutes. Pour over popcorn; stir to coat evenly.

Scoop some of the popcorn mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Gather and twist the plastic wrap to shape into a ball. Place popcorn ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; repeat with remaining mixture. Let cool until set about 5 minutes.
