Caramel Corn Crunch
A co-worker shared this recipe with me almost 30 years ago and I’ve passed it along to friends countless times. Sweet and salty combine for an addictive snack that also makes a great gift for teachers, friends, or neighbors. I have some friends who request it for Christmas every year! The hulless popcorn makes it great for kids (and anyone who doesn’t like getting hulls stuck in their teeth).
