 Hello friends!  Today I wanted to share a recipe with you that is a family favourite!

This Caramel Corn is actually my Grandma’s recipe that I remember my Mom making during the holiday season.  Every year I looked forward to it, and now I make it for my family who love it as much as I did!  I absolutely love recipes that get passed down through the generations…there’s something so special about sharing a recipe with your loved ones that generations before you have been enjoying too.  Love that SO very much.

So now I pass along to you our family’s Caramel Corn.  This popcorn is creamy, chewy and delicious!  I hope you try it and love it!

This caramel corn is also perfect for gift giving or simply just enjoying with your family during a movie night!  It’s quick and easy to make and it’s crazy delicious!  Trust me when I say this treat will get devoured.  I seriously could eat this all by my lonesome!

Instructions

 

• Pop your popcorn. Then measure out about 8 cups and spread it out onto a large cookie sheet.
• If you wish to add nuts to your popcorn, you might want to toast them in a 350 degree oven for 2-5 minutes, watching them very carefully. Toasting them brings out amazing flavour! When the nuts are toasted, sprinkle them over the popped popcorn. Set aside.
• Now on to the caramel! In a saucepan melt the butter, then add the sugar and corn syrup.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Continue to boil, stirring occasionally until the mixture turns caramel coloured.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Then pour the caramel over the popcorn and nuts. Using a fork, gently mix, and separate into clusters.
• You can eat it at this point while it's soft and warm, or you can let it cool and enjoy it later.
• Store in a tightly closed container.
