Print: Puffed Caramel Corn

Puffed corn can be found in the potato chip aisle of your grocery store and is used in this recipe to make great caramel corn without hulls or unpopped kernels. Warning: you need to make a double batch of this because it doesn't last long, at least not in my house. Very addicting. Love it!
