Caramel Bacon Popcorn is awesome. It is sweet and salty and proof that bacon does, in fact, make everything better. I recommend this popcorn paired with Princess Bride or Spanglish.
Ingredients
1 bag microwaveable popcorn
1 and 1/2 Tbs butter
1 and 1/2 brown sugar
6 Tbs water
1/2 pound bacon
1. Cook bacon. Mince into very small pieces(smaller than pictured).
2. Stir butter, sugar and water until sugar dissolves.
3. Bring to a boil.
4. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.

6. Uncover caramel mixture and cook without stirring to soft ball stage, 238.
7. Spread popcorn over cookie sheets to make a single layer sprinkle bacon throughout.
8. Drizzle caramel mixture over popcorn.
9. Allow popcorn to dry, 12 – 24 hours.
