Salted Caramel Popcorn

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels (about 16 cups popped corn)
1 cup salted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 - 2 tsp kosher or sea salt, divided

Preheat oven to 300°  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.  Pop popcorn kernels using air popper into a large bowl.  In a small saucepan melt butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and 1 tsp salt together over medium heat. Bring to boil. Boil for 4 minutes without stirring.  Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and stir to coat evenly.  Pour popcorn into lined pan, sprinkle remaining salt on top (1/2 tsp - 1 tsp depending on your personal taste preference) and place in oven. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.  Allow popcorn to cool on a parchment lined counter.
