Was so excited to make this treat but was disappointed in how it turned out. Not nearly as tasty as I had hoped.

It was good but I wasn't a big fan of the semisweet chocolate. Next time I'd go with milk chocolate or just leave the choco out and stick with caramel corn.

Made this without the chocolate as a lot of comments said it made the mixture grainy. Makes a great plain caramel popcorn with a little crunch. I also stirred in some mixed nuts and cinnamon for some added variety.

I made this recipe for a quick snack and it was soooo good! It also didn't take a very long time to make it. I've had problems in the past with other recipes of making caramel, (I always burned it while I was making it) but this recipe was very easy to handle and it didn't burn!! I would definitely make this again!

This was good and really easy to make. I cooked the chocolate mixture longer than it said and it took the grainyness right out. When you pull this out of the oven it breaks off into great chunks and is easy to package up or put into a large bowl. I also used salted buttered micro popcorn. I like that sweet/salty taste.

Was not impressed with this. The chocolate comes out grainy and it's hard to mix it all up. Wouldn't make it again.

It was to hard to break apart and a teeth breaker but once it melted enough in my mouth it was very tasty
