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 caramel 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. Have you ever done it? 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 caramel sauce!
Sure, you could just use chocolate syrup and jarred caramel, 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.
The popcorn sundaes themselves are pretty straight-forward– vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, caramel 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.
