Holiday Caramel Corn

I shared this recipe at Halloween last year for “Witches Corn”. This caramel corn recipe is my go to recipe for a fun sweet snack for the kids.  I just made a big batch of red a blue for the 4th! The trick is to use granulated white sugar instead of brown sugar so you can color it with food coloring.  It is so good and the kids get so excited to see the colorful batches come out of the oven!

Here is how to make it!
