This is so yummy! My girlfriend gave me the recipe and it sat in my cupboard for awhile and we tried it on a whim one year. Since then we included small bags of this is our Christmas gift baskets and people always rave about it. Sometimes we leave out the peanuts out and some times we leave the chocolate off. The popcorn without the chocolate is fabulous!

The caramel corn was a little too sweet for my taste, but the chocolate drizzle helped to balance it out. Overall, it was a good recipe.

This caramel corn is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The chocolate drizzle adds a touch of richness that takes it over the top. I will definitely be making this again!
