THE CARAMEL CORN SHOPPE. As a kid there was nothing like a trip to NorthTown Center - our first urban shopping center, built in the 1950's. Most notable - a trip to The Caramel Corn Shoppe, serving hot, fresh popcorn, licorice and the grand daddy of them all - Caramel Corn. 
Years later, and many hot air corn poppers as well, I've never once made this from scratch. Too complicated I thought. Boy-O-Boy was I mistaken. A simple caramel sauce is made from butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Poured over fresh popped popcorn and sprinkled with salted peanuts, this childhood treat is then oven and cooled. Leave it to BAKED to elevate this simple treat - with a drizzling of melted chocolate (milk and semi-sweet). As if it weren't a favorite already.

Yum! this looks fabulous, I don't think I could stop eating though till it was gone, this could be very dangerous!
Wow, sounds pretty awesome! Those baked boys are pretty brilliant
Gorgeous photos! Your caramel corn looks amazing!
A perfect way to serve this, Mike. It looks beautiful! Making this was also a trip down memory land, but a totally different one for me. The Caramel Corn Shoppe sounds delightful!
i look forwards to your pictures every Baked Sunday Mornings :) looks great!
I agree with Bourbonnztrix...Also look forward to your photos/presentation and your clever posts. Agree...Boy0O-Boy this is a good one.
Great photos & composition! We liked this, too, and were surprised how easy it was. This treat seems to have made all of us nostalgic! Have a great week!
I look forward to your photos also....you never let me down! Looks really yummy!
This looks absolutely delicious. Would love for you to share your pictures with us over at foodepix.com.
caramel corn is probably my biggest addiction. what a yummy snack!
I so want this!! I love caramel popcorn. Truly addictive and it looks sensational in your pictures. Yummy!
I finally got this book. I've made one thing to great effect but this will probably be number 2. Looks like it would make a great gift and when I do sweets, I like to give them away. These would be difficult to stop eating once I started.
