Important tip to make this perfect! I read and re-read this recipe and the reviews. I don't think that 8 CUPS of popped corn is correct. I also felt that 8 QUARTS was too much. I had to make a huge amount so I doubled the recipe. HERE IS WHAT I LEARNED! I made the stove top part all in one pot but doubled the ingredients. When it came to baking the caramel corn, my roaster would not hold the entire double batch. I put half in the roaster and half in a corningware casserole dish. The batch in the roaster was perfect! Cooled nicely and did not stick together or to the teeth. The casserole dish batch was chewy and sticky. Lesson learned! I will make this again and again but only in the roasting pan from now on.

I LOVE YOU Paula!! This is by far the best caramel pocorn I have ever had. I used less popcorn and they all received a nice coat of caramel. Grandma Paul blows Cracker Jacks AWAY! Awesome popcorn, I plan on making this for years to come. My girls love it. I made another caramel pocorn recipe before and was sooooo disappointed. Thank you Paula!!!!!
