I made this for my grand daughter birthday party and it was a hit. The only thing I did not do is put it inside the over. I just poured the carmel over the pop corn and let it set for about 3 minutes and served it in a pop corn box. It was great!

Well, I’m a complete moron. I thought I was at a different blog (a blogger with a little dog). And, I haven’t even been nipping at the eggnog. But I’m still making the caramel corn and I still wish you a Merry Christmas!
