This is the second type of caramel corn that we make. I had posted the Butter Toffee Popcorn Recipe, (link in comments section) and wanted to include this caramel corn version as well. Always the very first to sell out at school fund-raisers and bake sales when individually bagged. Also made in our family for over 40 years, I hope it becomes one of your family's favorites too!
