Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. 3

   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil.

   Allow the mixture to boil for about 4-5 minutes without stirring, until it turns a golden caramel color.

5. 5

   Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in the sea salt.

6. 6

   Pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn and gently toss to coat the popcorn evenly.

7. 7

   Spread the caramel-coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the rock salt over the popcorn for an extra salty touch.

9. 9

   Bake the popcorn in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating.

10. 10

    Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before breaking into pieces and serving.
