Sriracha Caramel Corn
This is the perfect balance of crunchy, sweet, caramel perfection with a wonderful kick of subtle heat!
When I was in high school, I loved going to the local farmer’s market because they had the most amazing caramel corn. They sold them in bags of $2, $4, and $6, and I always had to beg my mom for the $6 bag. She’d cave in time to time and then I’d finish the entire XL bag by the time we got home. It wasn’t a pretty sight to say the least. It would then be weeks until we could visit the farmer’s market again where I would drown myself in that dreamy caramel corn.
But little did I know how easy it was to make caramel corn right at home! With just a handful of ingredients, you can make your own homemade version and add in your favorite ingredients, like Sriracha. It gives off such an amazing subtle heat to these caramel bites, giving you that perfect balance of sweet and spicy in this irresistible caramel corn!

Love caramel corn and this recipe looks perfect for the bridal shower I am hosting.
Wondering if it will taste fresh if made 3 days ahead?
Thanks.
Yes, 3 days should be fine – that is, if they last around for that long! 🙂

What a great idea for caramel corn! I’m getting a craving for it just looking at the picture! Yum!
Sriracha? In caramel corn? I like both, but do they go together. Sometimes the odd (sounding) combinations are the best. This looks like it is worth a try.
