EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Be careful when you pour the bourbon and other ingredients into the warm syrup mixture, as it may spatter.

For kid-friendly caramel corn, leave out the bourbon.

Package individual servings of caramel corn in cellophane bags for the tailgate party. For other celebrations, bags of caramel corn would also be a great party favor for guests, or as a gift from the kitchen.
