I have to tell you, I loved everything about this recipe.  It was easy, it was fairly quick, and it tasted awesome.

I thought that I was a fan when I saw white chocolate in the recipe… but then add in the Herbes de Provence and, well, I was hooked.

(Here is a recipe for Herbes de Provence in case you cannot find any at your grocery store.)

It may seem ambitious for a Wednesday, but I promise you wont regret it.

If you want to incorporate some pumpkin flavor into the recipe, simply omit the Herbes de Provence and add 1 tablespoon of Pumpkin Spice!

  1. I made popcorn goodies this week which will be on my ‘baking’ blog too. As long as it looks good, which it does and it tastes good which I bet it does doesn’t matter if it’s baked or not. AANNDDD it’s a great way to incorporate chocolate into savoury dishes!

  2. I am completely obsessed with caramel corn and this recipe is such a unique approach to it with the herbes de provence! I would happily dive into a big bowl this morning!

  6. I would have never thought about adding herbs to caramel corn, but if you are crazy over it, Amanda, it must be good! If I feel really daring one day, I just might try it..:-)

  10. White chocolate Caramel. Nothing sounds better than that. But when I added the herbs to the bubbling caramel, oh my word – the aroma was incredible. I knew right then this would be my all time fave caramel popcorn recipe. Thank so much for sharing Amanda!!!!
