This looks so much easier than I thought it would be. I love using my candy thermometer too. I really want a chocolate thermometer now so I can work on my tempering too. Ooh… chocolate caramel corn. 🙂
Megan – I have made “caramel” corn using Hershey kisses before. You should check it out.
I LOVE caramel corn… or cracker jack 😉 I made it last spring for baseball season. It really is super easy to make and I just can’t get enough of it!
I love anything that mixes salt and sugar… this looks great!
I love caramel corn and this recipe looks delicious! I like to add roasted, salted almonds and cashews to mine…YUM!
This caramel corn looks ridiculously addictive!
This sounds awesome. I never like store bought popcorn, but freshly made homemade kind I’m sure I’ll be all about. Yum 🙂
I would have burnt my tongue too – caramel corn is also one of my favorites!
