Classic Caramel Popcorn
This Classic Caramel Popcorn is the ultimate sweet-and-salty snack! Each fluffy kernel is coated in a crisp, buttery caramel that bakes to golden perfection. Perfect for holiday gifting, game day spreads, or cozy movie nights at home. It's a simple, nostalgic (and completely irresistible) treat. I start making this during Halloween and keep going throughout the year.
