I love caramel popcorn and true story – back in the day when I was in college I worked at a place called Karmel Korn where we made batches of it in these big copper kettles. I always smelled so sweet – ha! I like this recipe because you can make at home and don’t need to clean out those big kettles! Feel free to double the recipe and use 2 bowls to coat popcorn and use 2 cookies sheets.
So when will you be making a batch?? Let me know how it turns out!
