- Pour that beautiful caramel mixture over your popcorn, making sure to coat it evenly. Get your hands in there or use a spatula, but give it a good toss so all of that popcorn is covered in the tasty caramel.
- Spread the caramel-coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it cool for about 30 minutes. You can break it apart into clusters or keep it as a big batch—whatever your heart desires.
