For a deeper caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar. Be careful when working with hot caramel, as it can cause severe burns. Store the cooled caramel corn in an airtight container to maintain its crispness.

Apr 4, 2025The caramel was a little too sticky for me. Next time, I'll try cooking it to a slightly higher temperature.
