Made for PAC Fall '07. This is a great caramel corn recipe. I made half a batch and took it to bingo for my friends to enjoy. Everyone loved this recipe. The caramel coating on the popcorn was light and crunchy and my friends were surprised when I told them I made it. The next time I make it I think I am going to add some honey-roasted peanuts to the batch. Thank you for a wonderful caramel corn recipe, MK Lady.

Born & raised in Indiana, I love to cook and enjoy the food grown on local farms. Our city has a large farmers market and a great reward for a good week of work is a Saturday morning there.
I'm married and the mother of a beautiful teenage daughter. My time in the kitchen is my reward for consistent work in my home-based business. I teach skin care for world-wide cosmetic company. (Yes, I do drive one of those free cars!) I'm passionate about helping women build better lives through a home-based business. To me, any financially secure woman is a happy woman!
