Caramel Puffcorn image

I had a taste of this recipe while taking care of an elderly couple. I think I ate the whole bag! Of course I had to have the recipe. It is delicious to bring along to a get together and so easy to make! Easy to do for a snack at the last minute too. On this batch I had extra sugar melted in the box so I added some almonds...

  • 4. Microwave 45 seconds, remove and shake!
  • 5. Repeat 2 more times and pour out onto freezer paper. Be careful--it is HOT!
