Churro Caramel Corn


There's just something about a churro that screams CARNIVAL to me. When I was growing up, the carnival would come to our town once a year in the summer time and I still remember the first churro I had there. My mother bought a churro for me and two and my brothers to share for fifty cents. (I'm pretty sure the most recent churro I had set me back four dollars, talk about inflation huh??)


I also remember making my brothers ride the Tilt-a-Whirl with me three or four times in a row right after that churro. They didn't have the solid stomach I have I guess because they both fought over the nearest open garbage can immediately afterwards. I don't know if they have the same happy memories of our churro that I do. But for me it was wonderful, and that cinnamon-sugar combo became iconic for me. When my mother made me toast for breakfast with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on top, it became Churro Toast.


When I made this popcorn I had that carnival churro in mind. The flavor combo was delicious and after a little tweaking with the ingredients, I achieved that perfect chewy-firm texture you get with a real churro. I'm hooked, this Churro Caramel Corn is sooo addicting. If you like churros, do yourself a favor and make a batch of this, pronto.

  6. I'm probably going to be having a movie night for my church connect group this week, and I wanted to make some nice popcorn for them instead of the usual microwave in a bag fayre. This looks really good.
