Caramel Corn for Holiday Gifting

A simple and inexpensive treat to make for holiday giving - Caramel Corn! It doesn't take long to make and you may already have the ingredients in your pantry. I love nuts so I added lots of pecans halves and whole almonds to mine. Please be warned - this stuff is delicious and very addictive so be sure to make enough for yourself too! I found myself grabbing a handful everytime I walked past the pan while it was cooling.


I found the original recipe here. The only change I made to the recipe was I used half dark corn syrup and half light corn syrup. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. I made two full batches of popcorn in my Whirley Pop popper and that was the perfect amount of popcorn.

Be sure to use a large enough pan to accommodate all the popcorn to make stirring easier. I used my turkey roasting pan.

If you want to be really decadent, melt some dark chococate and drizzle it over the top of the finished Caramel Corn - oh my!
