SUPER FAST, DELICIOUS, EASY, AND OOEY GOOEY CARAMEL CORN



Super Fast, Delicious, Easy, and Ooey Gooey Caramel Corn image

This caramel corn whips up really fast and is the perfect consistency and taste. I received it from some good friends of my parents. It always goes over well when a bunch of friends or family get together. Even though its easy, my husband requests it often. We like light corn syrup, but if you prefer a stronger flavor, use dark.
