Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be.

This recipe didn't turn out well for me. The caramel was too hard and the popcorn was too soft.

I thought this recipe was a bit too complicated and time-consuming. I'll probably just buy Cracker Jack next time.

The Cracker Jack was a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
