If You Like Really Good Caramel Corn...Try This!!!January 24, 2009By lilolelady
"I was looking for this recipe as I have used it on numerous occasions over lots of years. It's easy and worth the extra effort of the oven time. Have never met anyone who didn't like it. It literally melts in your mouth and doesn't cling to your teeth like so many recipes for caramel corn and popcorn balls do. Susan...Hardinsburg, IN"
