Step 1
Pop popcorn in a pot or air popper. Divide between two bowls.
Step 2
Melt butter, brown sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Step 3
Let caramel bubble 2 minutes without stirring. It will darken and smell nutty.
Step 4
Remove from heat. Immediately pour caramel over one bowl of popcorn, stirring fast to coat.
Step 5
Transfer to the second bowl and toss again. Spread on a plate to cool and crisp up, 3 minutes.
