Caramel Corn

Golden, buttery-sweet caramel corn is a family favorite, ball-park necessity, movie-night snack hero and the perfect edible gift. Pop the popcorn right in your June using the Popcorn Cook-Program, and we’ll walk you through the process of turning butter, sugar, honey and vanilla into the caramel coating of your dreams. A touch of cayenne and flaky salt add a bit of sophistication here, but you can customize the seasonings as you wish with different nuts, spices and flavorings. Don’t forget to make extra because this will disappear quickly.
