Caramel Popcorn
Caramel popcorn is a wonderful combination of sweet and salty. This recipe can be customized by adding any combination of fruit nuts chocolates or candies that you like. It makes a great gift as well and can be wrapped up in cellophane as I’ve shown below.
Make the caramel and boil until it reaches soft ball stage.
Mix the popcorn with nuts and dried fruits before pouring the caramel over it.
