crunchy carmel corn

 My friend, Rachel once brought this to a yw party and I could not believe that 1. it was homemade and 2. it was sooo delicious! She gave me the recipe and now every time I make it, I think of her. Even if she does live clear across the country. People love this wherever I go! Thanks Rach!
