Caramel Popcorn - Recipe

This caramel popcorn by Company's Coming is by far the best I've ever tried.  It's easy to make and excellent for stuffing all those crafty containers you've been working at.

But be aware, this popcorn won't last long.  And, it's VERY addictive!

~  Popped corn about 1 cup, 250 mL, unpopped (or two bags natural microwave popcorn - popped)
