Best Chocolaty Caramel Nut Popcorn Recipes
EASY CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL POPCORN
I found this recipe on the back of a bag of Kraft Caramels. It's the perfect party snack-everyone gobbles it up! I've discovered that 12 cups of popcorn is one microwave bag, and I've also tried it with cashews instead of peanuts. Yum!
