This is the worst caramel corn recipe I've ever tried. It's too sweet and the bourbon flavor is overpowering.

This recipe is a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of maple syrup next time.

This was a huge hit at our Super Bowl party! I was a little hesitant about the bourbon, but it really added a nice flavor. The caramel corn was also light and airy, not hard and chewy. Definitely a keeper!
