Once a year it’s okay to make caramel corn – at least that’s what I’m telling myself haha! I also love carrying on a tradition I loved so much as a little girl onto my boys. I’m sure I’ll get asked what my caramel corn recipe is, and I suppose I should share it even though it’s by no means healthy! We try to avoid refined sugars, buy organic and stick to whole foods whenever we can.

I loved sneaking handfuls whenever I walked by, and now my boys are doing the same. She made a big batch (or two) every fall and kept it in a large glass canister on the kitchen island. We would come home from school to homemade zucchini bread, chocolate chip cookies, handmade caramels, puppy chow and my favorite – caramel corn. Growing up, my Mom always baked so many delicious treats in the fall.

They look so pretty stacked high in an ironstone bowl on my counter! We have been eating so many this past week – there is nothing like the smell of apples and cinnamon bubbling on the stovetop! The whole house smells so divine whenever we bake with them.Īs you can see, I love to use actual pumpkins, squash and apples but realistically they don’t last forever. I don’t have any apples in these photos, but right after taking the photos for this post a sweet neighbor let us pick some of his.
