My sister-in-law used to make caramel popcorn all the time and hand it out in tiny amounts – ha ha. We loved it! This looks terrific. Happy date night!

Appreciate this post. Let me try it out.
We always make this popcorn for movie nights, and shhh but we sneak a bag into the theatre many times too, so much better than just buttered popcorn!
