Sticky Puffs of Mollten Goodness

By now you probably know my family does a cookie exchange at Christmas time. Well, we call it sweets and treats since we don’t like to be limited to cookies. Good thing my sister-in-law Allison knows no such limits. She brought this awesome Caramel Corn. I got a sneak taste the night before while babysitting. I’ve made two batches since that night – a mere few weeks ago. Anywhere we take it – it’s all eaten up. Be careful when stirring it while baking. Andy found out the hard way… those little puffs get coated with sugar and stick amazingly well to any skin – and stay stuck there. Oh – and they are hot… really hot. So… be careful and all will be wonderfully caramel and corny.
