One of my favorite things about fall is my mom’s caramel corn. She’s known for it around these parts, so when she busts out the ingredients and word gets leaked that Mandy is making caramel corn, the (not-so-subtle) requests start pouring in!

I’ve talked her into sharing her tried-and-true recipe with us … I just hope she doesn’t think this gets her out of making it for me! Ha!
