Notes
If you're not using microwave popcorn with butter and salt, you may want to add a pinch or two of salt into the peanut butter sauce.
Also, if you want a really gooey caramel popcorn texture, use less popcorn. Likewise add an extra cup or two of popcorn if you want it to be a little less chewy.
