Cashew Caramel Corn Recipe

Today has been one of those days where I just wanted to relax and do nothing! That’s about how this whole weekend has been! I work SO many hours at my Monday-Friday job that I’m sooo tired when the weekend gets here! So today I was thinking of something simple, quick and tasty, and this cashew caramel corn is what I came up with and am so glad I did. This is super easy and so delicious!

Easy Caramel Corn Recipe

I used a 3.5 oz bag of buttered microwave popcorn, added some cashews, then made the delicious caramel sauce. Mixed everything together, cooked it in the oven for about 20 minutes, let it cool, then enjoyed!
