Caramel corn

Okay kiddo, so do you know what popcorn is? It's like these little fluffy things that you can eat and they make a "pop" sound when they get hot.

Now, have you ever had something sweet and sticky called caramel? It's like a sauce made from sugar that gets melted and turns into a yummy golden color.

So, when we combine popcorn and caramel, we get caramel corn! We take the fluffy popcorn and cover it with the special caramel sauce. When it cools down, the caramel hardens and sticks to the popcorn, making it a delicious treat that you can eat.

Sometimes people add nuts or other flavors to make it even more yummy. And you can find caramel corn at the store or even make it at home with some popcorn and sugar. Isn't that cool?
