  NOTE* I go to a grocery store ahead of time and ask for a few "new" grocery bags. you may offer to pay, but if you tell them what you are making, they will give them to you for a return bag of carmel corn for storing and giving away: I bought poly "bread sacks by the bulk for my bread making and baked goods I used to sell, and these long bags will hold a nice size amt of this buttery treat.
