Each year on April 6th, National Caramel Popcorn Day conjures up memories of fairs, sporting events and fun snacking. For many people, this chewy or crunchy caramel popcorn treat is an all-time favorite. Combining popcorn and molasses began in the early 1800s. However, caramel was prevalent as well, and with the production of Cracker Jack, the popularity was ever increasing. Here's a recipe for caramel sauce that you can mix with your freshly popped, popcorn!!

2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1/2 cup light corn syrup
