You may be a skeptic, but cheese popcorn is MEANT for ice cream popcorn sundaes! Especially when paired with the best homemade hot fudge and homemade butterscotch sauce! It's sweet n' salty goodness, friends! 
First things first. Let's just jump right in and talk about putting popcorn on your ice cream. Butterscotch sauce and hot fudge is great, but have you ever tried popcorn? If not, it's definitely something you need to consider. Up until a few weeks ago, I had only indulged in one caramel popcorn sundae a few years ago, and I'm not really sure why I haven't had one since. I'm clearly doing things very, very wrong with my life.

It wasn't until I started talking with G.H. Cretors about making a recipe that all the fond memories of caramel popcorn sundaes came flooding back to me and I knew, I KNEW I had to make a sundae with not only caramel popcorn but with cheese popcorn too.
If you fall into the "Costco Mom" category (like me), I'm willing to bet allll the dirty clothes on my laundry room floor that you've left that store more than once with a bag of G.H. Cretors "The Mix" popcorn in your over-filled cart.
Am I right?
If so, you definitely need to make this because you know how good the popcorn is! The caramel and cheese combo makes it perfectly sweet and salty and still gives the sweet, satisfying crunch that just caramel popcorn gives to the sundae.
The other reason you need to make this sundae? The homemade hot fudge and butterscotch sauce!
Sure, you could just use chocolate syrup and jarred butterscotch, but that would be bummer.The recipes for both of the sauces are below, and both are phenomenal and EASY! Like, put all the ingredients in the pan and stir, easy.
What's the Difference Between Butterscotch Sauce and Caramel Sauce?
Butterscotch is made with brown sugar while caramel is made with granulated sugar. The flavor is a little stronger from the addition of molasses but is still pretty similar to caramel. Many people think its called butterscotch because of the addition of scotch, but that's not true.
How to Store Homemade Butterscotch Sauce and Hot Fudge
Both sauces can be poured into an airtight container like a mason jar and refrigerated for up to 3 months due to the high sugar content. I would not try freezing either of them.
The popcorn sundaes themselves are pretty straight-forward-- vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, butterscotch sauce and POPCORN!!
You're definitely going to want to save some of the popcorn for movie snacking with a big blanket, as well.
Movies AND ice cream are better with popcorn, IMO.
