Let the popcorn cool for 2-3 minutes before spraying your hands with pan spray. Pull off the desired amount of popcorn and form into a tight ball. Work quickly, as once the popcorn starts cooling it cools fast. Top the caramel ones with flakey sea salt and the peanut butter ones with a drizzle of melted peanut butter if desired.
