This confection was hardly an overnight success. Known as "popcorn candy," it was sold from an outdoor popcorn stand for twenty years before it took off at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. Early recipes used that staple from colonial days, molasses, but the irresistible combination of butter and sugar made the caramel the more popular formula.
