Cookie Crunch Caramel Popcorn Recipe

This yummy caramel popcorn recipe is easy to throw together and oh, so good! It’s the perfect combination of salty and sweet. You’ll love it!

As the weather starts to cool down, we’ll all start to spend more time indoors cuddled under warm blankets and snacking while watching Netflix.

What I’m looking for, when I’m involved in a binge, is a little something salty – but also a little something sweet. And many times, someone could ask me what I want and I have no idea.

Because I want it all – when it comes to snacks.

That’s where this Halloween dessert recipe comes in (there’s candy corn). It hits all the high points – all of the things that a professional snacker such as myself might want in a couchsurfing treat.

This yummy salty snack mix is easy to throw together and oh so good. If you aren’t a candy corn lover, you can omit it . . . but the addition of candy corn makes this caramel popcorn recipe perfect for fall!

Caramel Popcorn Recipe

You’ll need:

• 1 bag popped popcorn
• 12 caramel candies (or our salted caramel sauce)
• 1/2 cup to 1 cup candy corn
• 6 – 12 Oreos
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp Powdered sugar

Place the Oreos in a sandwich bag. Use the back of a large spoon to break them up into small pieces.

In a medium bowl, melt a couple of spoonfuls of butter. Add in the Oreos, half of the caramel and about two tablespoons of powdered sugar. Mix well. Dump into the bottom of several individual cups and press it together.

Pop the popcorn and mix with the candy corn in a large bowl. Here’s where your caramel popcorn recipe gets really fun.

Press the mixture on top of the Oreo crust. Lightly press down. Drizzle the rest of the caramel on top. Serve immediately.

The gooey caramel paired with the salty popcorn and the crunchy cookie is pretty amazing. Use your hands if you don’t mind sticky fingers or grab a large spoon.

This caramel popcorn recipe is DELICIOUS!
