Thanksgiving is coming up soon. Why not make some caramel corn to share with friends and family as a little gift of gratitude for them. It's also a tasty snack to eat fireside in the chilly Autumn weather.

Caramel Corn Ingredients list:

  • 1 cup butter

  • 2 cups brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup corn syrup

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp real vanilla

  • 6 quarts popped popcorn

​Sweet & Simple Tip:

Read your labels on corn syrup. I use the Karo brand corn syrup. It is the only brand I have found that is corn syrup rather than high fructose corn syrup
