Mimi in Maine's Note:

This is the very best crunch and munch I've had. Wonderful flavor. Try it, you'll like it. Nuts may be added if you like, but I like just the caramel corn. Yummy!

This was so easy to make and looked so ooey gooey good when I first put it in the oven but the end results were not of my liking. The caramel to me turned to a grainy texture. The taste is descent but I just didnt like the sugary granule feel in my mouth for the end product. Followed directions exactly

This is the same recipe I have used for several years. I haven't made it with nuts . But I give out around 20 Christmas bags of this caramel corn for gifts every Christmas. People love to get this every year.
