Ingredients

Fudge Layer

  • 1 can (14 oz) dulce de leche (caramelized sweetened condensed milk)
  • 1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups caramel popcorn

Caramel Layer

  • 25 caramels, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
  • 1 1/2 cups caramel popcorn

Steps

  • 1
    Line bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan with foil, leaving edges of foil hanging over 2 sides of pan for easy removal later; spray foil with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In 2-quart saucepan, heat dulce de leche and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth (mixture will be very thick); remove from heat. Quickly stir in vanilla. Stir in 2 cups caramel popcorn. Spread in pan.
  • 3
    In medium microwavable bowl, microwave caramels and cream uncovered on High 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Very slowly pour caramel mixture over fudge layer, and gently spread to cover. Sprinkle with salt and 1 1/2 cups caramel popcorn; press gently so it sticks. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Cut into 1-inch squares (8 rows by 8 rows). Store covered in refrigerator.

  • Be sure to use caramel popcorn that is really well coated to prevent your popcorn from getting soggy.
  • Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
