Easy Caramel Puff Corn Recipe

I work in an office. With cubicles. And goodie days. LOTS of goodie days. 

One of the most popular treats at our goodie days has been Caramel Puff Corn. My co-worker shared her recipe, calling it "Easy and evil!" So here it is. Make it for your own goodie days, holidays, or just for a snack. But be warned - it's addicting!
