Caramel corn is a great snack food that is naturally gluten free. I recently found some popcorn that was marked specifically for making caramel corn, so I decided to buy some to try it. I was kind of surprised, but it actually made a differece! Don’t get me worng, this caramel corn is great no matter what type of popcorn you use, but if you can find some specifically for caramel corn, give it a try. This is a fast and easy recipe, and it stays good for a few days, but it probably wont last that long! I recommend making more than you think you will need, although it is really easy to scale up or down.
