I have made this twice. I popped my own corn the first time, but used bagged popcorn this time and it worked so well!I also use the Kraft caramels that come in little balls instead of the cubes and they really melt well! I think one cup of the little caramel balls equals the 20 large cubes. I also always get worried that the carmel sauce won't be enough to cover the popcorn, but it turns out to be perfect! I loove this recipe!

I thought sustituting macadamias instead of peanuts, and forming individual popcorn balls instead of the cake, thus eliminating the cutting.
