A fun sweet and salty snack is always nice for your day in the sun. Some regular butter popcorn is great for the movies, but mixing in some caramel is great way to take something simple and make it different. Candy tends to melt in your bag if left in the sun for more than an hour. Caramel popcorn allows you to taste that sweetness of a candy without having the hassle of it melting. Traveling to the beach means taking a large bag to fit your beach towel, sunscreen, hat, etc. Packing food like fruits or foods that come in large Tupperware’s can become overwhelming. Popcorn is a very light and travel friendly snack that fits well for a beach occasion.

I have some control, still tweaking the settings so thanks for letting me know about that one.
It looks great. I’ll try that sometime this summer.
I gather you can’t control the links attached to your blog? A recipe for calamari ? This could be confusing for those who don’t know kashrut well.
Your caramel popcorn recipe looks *sigh* delicious…. After all the ingredients are mixed, does it have to be baked or dried in any way, or just packed away- (providing, of course, there is any left after some serious snackers find out I’ve prepared it) ?
unfortunately I find I cannot stop eating this stuff
