There's nothing quite like taste of warm caramel corn fresh from the oven on a chilly fall day.
Do you make homemade caramel corn? It’s so simple, yummy and inexpensive and it’s sure to be a fall favorite with your kids from here on out!
I remember my first experience with homemade caramel corn. I was newly married living Kentucky, and my mother-in-law showed me how to make this for the first time. This isn't her recipe, but the taste is very similar. Just a warm, gooey, melt-in-your-mouth experience...literally.
It's looks so pretty once it's cooled placed in a glass jar on your table or counter. Kids just love making this simple recipe and the memories are ones they will cherish.
