Caramel Corn

Given the state of the economy, prices have gone up. The increase in prices has not only affected gas stations and super markets, but movie theaters as well. I remember the price for a movie ticket, growing up, was $8 and popcorn was $4. Now tickets are $10- $12 and popcorn is $5- $7. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about the ticket prices but I do have an easy caramel corn recipe for all you readers.  This recipe is not only simple and delicious but it's cheap too. Take to the theaters and enjoy!
