Personal Notes:
This was a Sunday night movie ritual when we were growing up. Mom had an old fashioned stove top popcorn popper that looked like a sauce pan with a wire coming down from the lid. You had to continually turn the lid to keep the popcorn from burning.

We didn't bother baking the popcorn, just served it freshly coated in caramel!
