Homemade Fiddle Faddle

This is recipe number 2 that I've tried in the past two weeks in an attempt to make Homemade Fiddle Faddle. Recipe #1 was such a bust I was too ashamed to even share it with y'all! It was one of the worst fails I've had in the kitchen in a long time!

Attempt #2 turned out a little better. Good enough that I photographed it & I'm blogging it at least ;) The flavor in this one was really good! The fail about this recipe though is the caramel never really set & the popcorn stayed very very sticky. Not too sticky that it couldn't be eaten though {as long as you had plenty of wet wipes around}!!
