If you've never tried our super-easy, crazy-delicious microwave caramel corn recipes. you're missing out! Both have free printable labels for fun gifting.

I've been making microwave caramel corn for, what seems like, a zillion years now but I'll never forget the first time I heard about it. "Caramel corn in the microwave??? You're kidding, right?". Wrong. Being a "curious cat" (that's what my husband, Scott calls me)I tried it and was AMAZED. Microwave caramel corn is made in a big brown paper grocery bag so there's minimal mess and cleanup.

 

 

And the taste? SO delicious, crisp, buttery and loaded with fabulous caramel flavor. Try it, you will be shocked and amazed too! And one day, you'll probably say, "I've been making microwave caramel corn for, what seems like, a zillion years now but I'll never forget the first time I heard about it..." Pass on the deliciousness!

All of these microwave caramel corn recipes have free printable labels for gifting. We're happy to send them but we ask that you request them separately in the comment section at the bottom of each post. We send out a LOT of free labels every day and that's how we stay organized. ENJOY!

I've got an idea for another seasonal caramel corn recipe but, for now, enjoy these 5!

Thought for the day:

 Do not be anxious about anything,
but in every situation, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

  7. I have not made any of these yet as I am busy with the pear/apple chutney. Would you please go ahead and send the labels? You have become my new favorite "go to" for recipes. I have not tried a single one of your recipes that was not a hit. Praying you are in good health. I know you spoke about tests recently.
