Caramel Sauce:

Recipe Notes
- For a smooth caramel, it is essential to add cream of tartar to prevent the caramel from crystallizing.
- It is important to include the baking soda so that the caramel won’t turn too hard. This step is essential for the caramel to properly coat the popcorn.
- You can store the popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
