I have been making caramel corn for years and years, with a similar recipe. I now use this recipe, I like the molasses in it. Some of us though are popcorn challenged, I simply cannot make popcorn, so I have discovered that they sell microwave popcorn with no butter flavor, just lightly salted. One bag makes about 7-8 cups of popcorn, so you would need 2 for this recipe. I use unsalted butter, but frankly do not think anything would be harmed by using the lightly salted popcorn and salted butter. I swear, using microwave popcorn makes this recipe even better!!! Or check out this super-simple way to make microwave popcorn - two bags is what you need for this recipe. Enjoy - PJH
