Spiced Caramel Popcorn and Nut Mix

Spiced Caramel Popcorn and Nut Mix– Homemade caramel sauce poured over popcorn and toasted almonds. A perfect fall snack.

I’ve got a delicious fall treat for you today. This spiced caramel popcorn and nut mix is perfect for all your fall parties. These cookies would also be great for a  fall  get together!

I love caramel popcorn and this recipe takes it up a notch with the addition of toasted almonds, cinnamon and pumpkin spice. It’s so ooey, gooeey good! I need to warn you…this sticks to your teeth so don’t grab a big handful. 🙂

I hope you have gotten to enjoy the beautiful fall we have had. Except it is raining here today, it rained yesterday, there’s a chance of rain tomorrow, the next day and as far into the future I am able to check via the Internet. lol. However, we do have baseball going on so that is keeping us busy. In October, if the St. Louis Cardinals have made it into the playoffs our evenings involve watching the Cards. What better treat to enjoy while watching baseball in October than some fall inspired caramel popcorn.

This popcorn would be great to package up and give as gifts!
