    Enjoy a handful of this crunchy, sugary, buttery, easy to make and fun to eat caramel popcorn! One of our favorite summer munchies!

Welcome to Throwback Thursday where each week I bring back blast from the past posts! I love sharing my favorite recipes, life lessons and more. As I look back on these throwbacks I am reminded of some really great food, good times, and a glimpse into how much I have grown as a person and a blogger! 

We breathe the salt air, feel the sand between our toes, hear the crash of the ocean waves, and smell the boardwalk food. We are enjoying some time at one of our favorite beaches and soaking up the last bits of summer. 
We enjoy a walk on the boardwalk, go crazy on some of the rides, buy hermit crabs, and eat one of our favorite boardwalk sweets caramel corn. 
Crunchy, buttery, and caramelly warm popped corn filled to the brim is munching in our mouths. 
We crave this popcorn when we come home, so we made some and wanted to share our recipe with all of you!

Instructions

Cooking Directions

Pop Popcorn in microwave and set aside in a large mixing bowl; add in honey roasted peanuts-optional

In a saucepan melt butter

Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup

Allow to thicken and come up to a slow boil using a medium heat

Remove from the stove top and stir in the baking soda

Stir butter sugar mixture in with popcorn until all popcorn is nicely coated

Place popcorn on a 9 X 13 baking pan

Place in the oven for one hour, turn the popcorn every 15 minutes to allow the caramel to continue coating the popcorn

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes

Enjoy

**If you would like more caramel covering your popcorn double the butter sugar mixture**
