Handmade gifts – baked caramel popcorn

November 24, 2011 by Barb 29 Comments

This baked caramel popcorn was a recipe from my Mom. She loved her sweets and Christmas was a veritable sugar feast for her.

I make it now but I usually regret it because I eat far, far too much of it. I just have to remember to brush my teeth 5 times a day . . . anyway, I like to package it up in cellophane bags and give it as gifts (evil, I know).
