    My popcorn turned out a little sticky. I think I might have overcooked the syrup. Next time, I'll watch it more carefully and take it off the heat as soon as it turns golden.

    I added a pinch of salt to the syrup while it was boiling, and it really enhanced the sweetness. Highly recommend trying it!
