Turtle Corn
This recipe takes the classic caramel corn a few steps further. Not only do you have the sweet homemade caramel covering the tender popcorn, but I added salty cashews with decadent chocolate. Amazing! So now when I have a craving, all I have to do is go to the pantry and grab a handful of this Turtle Corn to calm my salty, sweet desires. Enjoy!
