For best results, use freshly popped popcorn. Avoid microwave popcorn with added butter or salt. If you don't have parchment paper, you can lightly grease the baking sheets. Watch the candy mixture closely while it boils to prevent burning. Adjust the heat if necessary. Store the cooled popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the candy mixture. If you want a softer popcorn, you can reduce the bake time.
