Caramel corn hits the spot! My teen and I were hanging out yesterday when we both decided we wanted something sweet! Caramel corn for the win! We’ve had hit or miss luck with caramel corn in the past and neither of us wanted to wait to bake it so we decided to try something totally new and made this delicious super easy no-bake caramel corn! I love these opportunities to continue to connect with my youngest through cooking. This caramel corn comes together quickly and easily for a late-night snack!
