"Can't stop eating it!" say guests about my caramel corn. For our basketball party. I fix enough to fill a big red tin decorated with the University of Arizona logo. The delectable syrup coats the popcorn well but isn't sticky.

Super good! Perfect treat for the Sunday game. I also used 3 bags of microwave popcorn to cut the time. Turned out great :)

Tastes just like the stuff you get in the store and it's really easy to make. Extra bonus! I like how all the ingredients are basic ones that any kitchen holds. I definitely recommend this recipe.

OMG! This is the best caramel corn I have ever made! Easy, delicious, and I always have the ingredients on hand. I use three bags of microwave popcorn (lightly buttered) and a aluminum turkey roasting pan instead of two 9x13. Works great. Melts in your mouth if you're lucky enough to get through the crowd and get a bite! Thanks for a great recipe!

I've been making this for our neighbors for Christmas for the last several years. They love it and look forward to it every year. This is a wonderful recipe.

Fantastic!! Made this to bring to a party and it was easy and delicious! Next time I plan to add some cashews to the mix.

This is just like my mom's recipe that I grew up with. Easy and very economical to make. I just used my regular vanilla.

I thought this would be really messy to make but it wasn't. It's very addicting!

I've been making this several years now, and everyone LOVES this! Try adding pecans to it for an extra special treat.
