Healthy & Crunchy Caramel Corn

Do you love healthy desserts? Like the Decadent Raw Brownies? Well this popcorn is both deliciously tasty and healthy! Full of a mouth watering caramel sauce and crunchy nuts this Caramel Corn makes a delicious dessert… or snack!

Sweet, salty, crunchy and chewy all in one! This caramel corn is perfect for a movie night or just when you need something to munch on.

Air popped popcorn is naturally low on the calorie scale (so I like to eat a ton!) but the nut butter and nuts amp up a plain bowl to an addictive one.

The combination of nut butters means you’re getting a lot of great fats but it also means sticky goodness. While this treat makes a wonderful gift for neighbors, it’s definitely hard not to eat it all while packing it up!

I like to swap out the nuts and butters every so often to experiment with different flavors. And the best part, caramel corn freezes! Simple portion into small bags and leave in the freezer until a craving hits. It can be placed in the fridge to thaw somewhat or if you’re like me, just eat it super chilled!

How To Make Healthy Caramel Corn

Make the popcorn by heating the oil in a pan and air popping (or use a popcorn maker!).

Transfer to a large bowl when finished. In a small pot on low heat combine the nut butters, honey, syrup and salt. Whisk until combined.

Toss the chopped nuts in the popcorn. Pour the melted combination over the popcorn and mix immediately with a spatula.

Keep mixing until everything is coated and sticky. Place in the fridge for thirty minutes to harder and then portion.

Don't forget to lick the spatula 😉
