In a cooking pot over medium heat, put a little oil and salt, add the popcorn and place a lid on the pot. Remove the pot from heat when the popcorn has finished popping.
In a pan, place the sugar & water and simmer for 10 minutes till the liquid thickens. Once it has thickened, add the butter and a pinch of salt and simmer for 2 more minutes.

After all the sugar melts, add the whipping cream and simmer till the mixture thickens)
Place three scoops of caramel ice cream in the chocolate bowls and on top, place the caramelized popcorn. Drip using a spoon some dessert sauce of your choice.
