Fall season at the Thiele household means snacking. OK, you got me... any season for us is snacking season. But in the fall I tend to gravitate towards crunchy handfuls of snack foods. A particular favorite of ours is caramel corn (find the recipe here ) Lately I have been craving salty/sweet and I was really hoping to find a snack mix that would fulfill that itch. While this is a pretty darn good tasting recipe, it wasn't what I was looking for. I tossed it with some popcorn salt after it came out of the oven, which made a big difference, and I added some caramel candy corn.
