Get a large pan over medium heat and pour in vegetable oil.

Wait for the oil to get nice and warm, then add popcorn kernels.

Once the kernels start popping, cover the pan with a lid.

Empty and clean the pan after popping is done.

Add butter, honey, and caster sugar into the clean pan and stir until melted.

Leave the mixture alone and increase the heat until it begins to bubble.

Once bubbling, reduce the heat and add the popped popcorn, stirring to coat with caramel.

Spread the caramel-coated popcorn into a baking tray and let it cool down naturally.

Transfer the cooled popcorn into a storage jar.
