Fall Time Caramel Corn
Fall Time Caramel Corn
Fall has arrived here and it is the time to make my familes favorite fall time caramel corn.
One of my favorite seasons is fall. Love how things start to slow down for a bit before we head into the busy holiday season.
Absolutely love the fall colors, the fragrances, the hot drinks and of course baking season.
This is one of my absolute favorite recipes to make in the fall season. My family can never seem to get enough.
Caramel is delicious and popcorn seems to be the perfect balance of sweetness.
I have been collecting cookbooks for years and one of my favorites collections of cookbooks happens to be Taste of Home.
They have some amazing recipes and I am sure I will be sharing more of my favorites from some of their cookbooks.
This recipe came from the Taste of Home 2000 annual recipes cookbook.
If you too are a Taste of Home Cookbook fan you may have heard of this recipe already and have maybe even made it.
It is originally called courtside caramel corn, but I renamed it Fall Time Caramel Corn, because fall is when I usually make it and it has actually become a family tradition. My family pretty much expects it every fall season.
If you have never made caramel corn before; you are going to love this.
Completely addictive. One handful is never enough.
