Melt butter over low heat in large saucepan or dutch oven.
2 T Butter
Unwrap caramels and add to pan. Melt over low heat, stirring frequently. (You can do this in a microwave too, just be careful not to overcook.)
1 Bag 13 oz Kraft Caramels
Pop individual mini bags of popcorn using the recommended settings of your microwave. Set aside two large bowls. When each bag of popcorn is popped, pour contents of bag into one of the bowls. Scoop out the popcorn by handfuls and place into the second bowl. Be careful not to transfer any un-popped kernels. Do this with each bag. You don't want any un-popped kernels to make it into the popcorn balls.

Pour the melted caramels over the popcorn and gently stir to cover well. Depending on the size of your bowl, it may be easier to pour the popped corn into your dutch oven.
Butter your hands and form popcorn balls to the desired size. Mine were about the size of tennis balls.
Wrap in clear plastic wrap.
