This awesome caramel corn is just that...awesome, and so easy to make. The perfect combination of savory and sweet. I must admit I modified the recipe slightly. I added 1 cup of roasted, lightly salted peanuts just to give it a "Cracker Jack" vibe. I've made it with and without the peanuts and it's great either way.
