How To Harvest Caramel Corn

Nancy and I did a post last month on Candy Corn Popcorn for Halloween.  It was delicious and we loved the way it turned out.  It was so good we decided try a different version for Fall/Thanksgiving.  We went a different route and made a caramel popcorn this time.  This Harvest Caramel Corn turned out great!  I dare say it was even better than the Halloween popcorn.
