Caramel Corn

Caramel Corn...check! (kind of)

Just finished up a batch of caramel corn. My goal was to make 12 little bags of it, but one batch only got me 8 so it looks like I'll be making some more tomorrow night.

I hit up Costco today too. Normally I love browsing the aisles of Costco to see what new stuff they have, but today it was so busy that I just wanted to get in, get the stuff I needed, and get out. I didn't even stop for samples :)

I will leave you with the caramel corn recipe...

GRR! Something strange is going on with my blog and it won't let me upload the pictures of the caramel corn. If I figure it out, I will add them.
