It’s the final day, Day Five of Christmas Treats Week.  And today we’re making Homemade Caramel Corn. It’s been so much fun making lots of sweet treats for the holidays.  And, my family and friends sure are enjoying eating them all. Check them all out at the bottom of this post.

This was my first time making this recipe -and it’s amazing!  Like I can’t stop eating it amazing.  I happened to mention to my friend Leanne last week that I was looking for a caramel corn recipe.  She said she had one, and that people she’d given the caramel corn to in the past keep asking her and asking her to make it for them again.  Always a good sign.  And now I know why they keep asking for it, it’s so good.

One of my very favourite things to get at Disney World is the amazing Caramel Corn at Epcot, from the Weuther’s Bake Shop.  After I made this caramel corn, I told my husband we don’t have to go to Disney World anymore.   Then he looked sad, so I revised it to, we can satisfy our Disney World Caramel Corn cravings in between trips.  😉

This caramel corn is quite easy to make, it just takes awhile.  I promise it’s worth it though.

I think this caramel corn would also be great with some nuts stirred in with the popcorn.  Yum.
