Caramel corn is one of our all-time favorite treats here at the Bourbon Barrel Foods headquarters. We spice up our popcorn daily with Bourbon Smoked Sugars, Bourbon Smoked Sea Salt, and Bourbon Smoked Togarashi almost daily. When we are feeling in need of an extra special sweet treat we make Bourbon Barrel Togarashi Caramel Corn. The whole office will come running for a handful!
This recipe uses a few of our signature spices making this popcorn treat next-level delicious. If you are intrigued but know you will never attempt this at home pick up a bag of our Pre-popped sack here.
