This yummy, buttery caramel corn is great to make year-round, but I especially love and look forward to making it in Autumn.
I decided to try Land O' Lakes European Style Super Premium Butter in my most recent batch of caramel corn, and it worked great. It's a NEW kind of butter Land O' Lakes has added to their delicious line of butters. And thanks to BzzAgent and Land O' Lakes, I was recently given the great opportunity to try a complimentary package of it.
I've been using Land O Lakes European Style Super Premium Butter for a month, and the following recipe for Homemade Caramel Corn is one of my favorite ways to use it.
