Popcorn is a must for any movie nights and it is so cheap to just make them at home! I used to buy my caramel popcorns from garrett and it is really kinda expensive for a small bag of caramel popcorn. So, I started making my own at home. These popcorns can be kept for a days or a week. If you like the crunch, feel free to add in some chopped nuts too!
