1. 
    
   Boiling caramel

   Now spread the corn on the covered cookie sheet and place in the warm oven for about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.

6. When cool enough to handle, Break it up into bite size pieces and enjoy!
   You can also add salted peanuts to the popcorn before adding the caramel to it. This makes for a little extra crunch and flavor to this yummy caramel corn.

Tips & Warnings

• Be careful the caramel will burn you, It is hot like lava.
• Be sure the corn is cooled a bit before breaking it up for consumption.
