- Sprinkle the popcorn with the sea salt, and set it aside in a large bowl. Sprinkle the cheddar over the popcorn. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Combine the remaining ingredients (brown sugar through butter) in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Simmer and stir constantly for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and pour over the popcorn and cheddar. Stir gently to combine. Form 3-inch balls, setting them on the parchment-lined pan to cool completely.
