Re: Carmel Corn: Great for Any Celebration!

Sounds delicious! I saw a recipe for marshmallow caramel corn the other day that I'd like to try...Just need to make sure all my fillings are firmly in place!

Couple quick (probably dumb) questions: Wink

Is a 'cube' of butter the same as a stick of butter? I've never used the term 'cube' before, so I wanted to double check.

>>>a pink of salt

Did you mean to say a 'pinch' of salt? If not, then please define 'a pink of salt'. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Thanks.


Topaz,

I am so very sorry. Yes, a "pinch." And a cube is a stick. The word "cube" was used back when my friend's mom created this recipe. Must have been the 50s or 60s.

The word is "caramel".


You got me on that one, indeed. Earlier in the day, I had been thinking of all the wonderful Thanksgivings we had spent in Carmel, California!

Karmelkorn is a chain of stores selling mostly that style of popcorn. Loved to buy a box at the end of shopping in the mall and eat it on the way home. I try to make my home version of it once in a while.


Ooooohh, the memories of Karmelkorn shops in the mall. A box of warm caramel corn and shopping with my mom and dad at the Buena Park Mall, in Southern California. I far as I know, they no longer have Karmelkorn in California.

No need to apologize! Smile I know that terms can vary from region to region, so I just wanted to be sure that I was on the same page as the recipe author. Thanks for posting this; I can't wait to make it.
