We have started a tradition of making carmel apples each fall with Jake's grandparents. They really enjoy them and it is a nice activity to do while we visit with them.
I found this recipe to make homemade carmel apples and it is easier than buying and unwrapping carmels. Plus it is yummy.
1 cup butter (no substitutes)
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
8-10 wooden sticks
8-10 medium tart apples
Melt butter in large microwave bowl. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir well. Microwave 3 minutes, Stir, microwave another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Insert wooden sticks into the apples. Dip each apple into hot caramel mixture; turn to coat. Set on buttered plate to cool.
You can also use this recipe to make homemade carmels just pour the cooked carmel into a greased pan and let it set up an hour in the fridge.

I scaled this down and used it for caramel corn. It worked really well.
I used
2 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp corn syrup
1/2 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk
1/4 tsp vanilla.
Cooking for 1 minute followed with a stir then 30 sec. stir and 30 sec more. (We have a pretty gutless microwave, though, so if you have a high powered one, that first minute might be too much.)
I used 4 cups of popcorn.
