This crunchy caramel snack mix is a perfect combination of sweet and salty, with chocolate drizzled over the top. This is a snack the whole family can enjoy. Great for game day, or just sitting down with a big bowl and a movie. I have even made this and packaged it up for Christmas gifts. I have been making it every fall now for the last couple years, and it get gobbled up! This is so stinking easy, and once you try this you will be so addicted and won't be able to stop eating it.
I will be honest though, I have never been a huge fan of caramel popcorn by itself, but this recipe has lots of different textures of crunchiness. The buttery caramel that holds it all together like glue, is so delicious. I hope you love it as much as we do!
