    Chocolate Peppermint Caramel Corn

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Although I love all the cookie madness and I feel like I can bake a million cookies during the holidays, I have decided to take a moment away and introduce you to my new favorite holiday treat.    Caramel Corn is such a classic but can only get better when you add a drizzle of white and dark chocolate and a sprinkle of peppermint...it will keep you coming back for another bite.  It is the perfect snack, gift or party nic nac that will take you through the holidays.
