Caramel Apple Popcorn Squares

I remember eating caramel popcorn balls in the fall as a kid.  Parents would bring them for the Halloween parties at school and one year my mom and I made them.  It was a gooey, sticky mess – and we loved it.  

Rather than use corn syrup to make popcorn balls, make them with all-natural ingredients and enhance the flavor by adding dried apple chips, peanut butter, and peanuts to your popcorn balls.  These are not your traditional popcorn balls, they are even better!

Right now the Bare Apple Chips are $2.33 a bag with a digital coupon and the Jolly Time Popcorn is just $.50 after a coupon at Safeway. 

Try these as a delicious fall treat for the kids for parties or just to have on hand as a yummy snack.
