"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.

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