Gingerbread Caramel Corn Recipe from A Kitchen Addiction

I have been all about gingerbread this holiday season. In the short time that I’ve had a working oven, the only baked goods that seem to be coming out of it are gingerbread desserts!

So when I was thinking about making caramel corn last week, I couldn’t just make caramel corn. I had to make it gingerbread caramel corn!

This was my first time making caramel corn and I now know that I’ll be making it much more often. We love snacking on popcorn, but we usually stick to kettle corn or plain popcorn with different seasonings.

Not anymore. Caramel corn now has its own place in the popcorn rotation! While it takes a little extra time because of the baking, it isn’t anymore difficult than the other popcorn we’ve been making.

Just mix up the gingerbread caramel mixture on the stove top and pour it over the popped corn. Give it a stir, spread it out on a couple of pans and bake.

Since I couldn’t just stop at gingerbread caramel, I also added some creamy white chocolate and festive sprinkles. Just the topping this gingerbread caramel corn needed.

So, if you’re in need of a special holiday snack for Christmas, this gingerbread caramel corn is just the recipe you need!
