Sriracha Caramel Corn

This Sriracha Caramel Corn has been called dangerous, amazing, yummy, and so many other amazing things this week. I must say this is one recipe that disappears the moment I set the bowl out.

I decided to make this Sriracha Caramel Corn Recipe for a friend's birthday and it was a huge hit. I knew she was a Sriracha addict and thought the sweetness of caramel corn would be a perfect combination with the Sriracha. Thank goodness it worked! Have you ever made a gift and then just hoped and prayed the person liked it?

That is how I felt when I made this Sriracha Caramel Corn. I made her a huge gigantic bag of it and then started to worry and fret until I gave it to her. All I could think is...what if she doesn't like popcorn??? Which really who doesn't like popcorn? When I handed her the bag she hugged it so I figured that was a good sign that I had made a gift she would enjoy. Then she took a bite and the look of bliss on her face made me so happy! I mean serious food angels singing from the heavens blissful is the look she had.

Have you joined the Sriracha craze? What is your favorite recipe to make with Sriracha?

I can't wait to experiment with Sriracha and see what else I can add it to.

    Let me just say my mouth is watering! This looks so amazingly good, I can't wait to give it a try. Since I'm generally against corn syrup, I think I'll try it with a "make your own substitute" (water and sugar, heated to to the same consistency) I do a lot of "real food" cooking, so I am interested to see if I can successfully convert it with other sugars (like coconut sugar or maple syrup) that have some trace nutrients. I know what I'll be doing tomorrow!
