I know I must have at least a dozen favorite treats, but honestly, this tops them all. I lovingly call it 'White Chocolate Carmel Corn', and I say lovingly because I love it so much! I consider myself to be a connoisseur of 2 things. Granola and Caramel Popcorn. Since I've had a lot of experience making both of these scrumptious treats and I adore them so much, I have given myself that title. I am sure no one would care enough to argue.
Both of these Foods, in my opinion, are extremely difficult to buy packaged. No matter how gourmet the popcorn, it is never as good as homemade. Ever. I have managed to find a brand or two of granola that I love, but even then, it doesn't compare to what comes out of my oven. Not that I am the best cook ever. I just feel that you, me, anyone can make a superior product at home, simply because it will be so fresh. Also having a heavy hand when it comes to all the add-ins for either the granola or the caramel corn sure doesn't hurt.
I usually only make this caramel corn during the holidays. But today I am making 100 bags for some friends who are going on a service mission to Argentina for our church. They are having a going away party tonight, and what better way to send them off.
I did not come up with this recipe. But I claim it because I've made it countless times. And I read somewhere that when you make something more than 4x a year, you can claim it. Sounds good to me.
mmm that popcorn looks so good! and you are right, it is soooo much better homemade!! i've never made a baked but have wanted to, because it makes it crunchy right? yum!!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I have never had caramel corn? I am not a popcorn fan but seriously, I am reconsidering since this looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteAmeena what? E-mail me your address ASAP and I will send you some, I am serious. It will be a belated bday gift. Yes Laura it makes it more crunchy less chewy, just the way I like it.
ReplyDeleteI had JUST sent you an email asking for the recipe for this!!! I'm so glad it's on your blog! I've got it bookmarked and I'm going to make it when I get into Memphis this weekend!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it's crunchy and not chewy. I can't stand it when my teeth stick together! Ha!
