Caramel Popcorn
Do you remember when microwaves were first invented? Well, I was just a kid and this is a recipe we made often and I have made it numerous times for my kids. Easy to make and no long wait for the popcorn to bake in the oven. You can have the batch eaten in the amount of time it takes to bake it the old fashioned way in the oven.
