Welcome

Caramel Popcorn

So I said I would post up here once and awhile...and it definately has been once and awhile. Here is a new delicious recipe for you. I initially got it from Kristine Parker and I changed it to fit my taste. I pretty much just added twice as much popcorn to it so I could justify eating more!
Bon Appetit!
