Caramel Moose Munch Fancy Popcorn is crunchy, sweet, and chocolatey, caramel corn sprinkled with three kinds of nuts, and drizzled in two types of chocolate. This easy, crunchy, delicious popcorn is great for a crowd. Just be warned, you won’t be able to stop snacking once you start.
There is nothing better than the crunch of a caramel coated popcorn…that is, until you drizzle it with white and milk chocolate, and toss in pecans, almonds, and peanuts. Then I am hooked!
Confession time, I love popcorn. Like it rates in one of my top ten ever things to eat. Sad, but true. I pick it over many other foods, and select my theater based solely on which have the best popcorn. And don’t tell me they are all the same, it is simply not true.
Throw nuts into that popcorn, and I got nuts for it. (Pun intended). Probably because it then feels like I am eating something relatively healthy! Ha!
Anyway, one of my favorite things about popcorn is that it is simple to make, works for a crowd, and is so easy to customize and have fun with, and this recipe is no exception. Caramel Moose Munch Fancy Popcorn is a perfect party food, especially if you want to feed a crowd, like a last minute idea for a New Year’s Party. Serving Caramel Moose Munch Fancy Popcorn in a festive holiday bucket is an easy way to spruce up your snack table.

I was wondering if you could use store bought popcorn? I was thinking it might be good sweet and salty. What are your thoughts?

Hi , thanks for the recipe. I know the ads are how you get paid but it is so hard when you’re working on the recipe and ads are constantly popping and then the page scrolls up with each new ad. I don’t know if there is a solution. I just wanted to say. It’s not just yours .. many other blogger recipe websites are the same. Takes all the fun out of making the recipe. Best regards.

I will ask my ad provider if there is a cook mode that will eliminate this issue. Thanks for letting me know.
