A sweet and salty treat that is perfect for snacking on while watching the game or a movie, this caramel corn snack mix is super easy to make in your crock pot!
Popcorn has always been a favorite snack of mine. I could probably eat a whole bag of it by myself and don’t even get me started on movie theatre popcorn! Sweet and salty snacks definitely rank up there as some of my favorite treats, behind chocolate of course.
So when I came across an easy recipe for making caramel corn in the crock pot, I knew I had to give it a try! It’s so much easier than making caramel on the stove using a candy thermometer and the constant checking, stirring, and everything else that goes with it.
And even though it’s made in the crock pot, this caramel corn snack mix is the perfect delicious mix of sweet and salty!
