Store the Caramel Crunch in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its crispiness.

    This recipe is so easy and quick to make! My kids absolutely love it, and it's become a staple in our house for movie nights.

  • Newton Stark

    I added a pinch of cinnamon to the caramel, and it gave it a warm, cozy flavor. Highly recommend trying that!

  • Stanford Jaskolski

    The only issue I had was that my caramel burned slightly in the microwave. Next time, I'll try reducing the microwave time by 30 seconds and see if that helps.
