Caramel Corn
This is a simple treat to make. Use a bag of plain microwave popcorn, mix in some nuts then make a caramel sauce to drizzle on top of the mix. Bake at a very low heat, let it cool and enjoy.
You can use any type of nuts… peanuts, walnuts, pecans or you could leave them out, although I have not made it that way myself.
