A really fun way to spend a winter afternoon is making caramel popcorn. This recipe, bar none, is the best recipe I have ever used to make caramel popcorn. An adult will need to make the caramel sauce and popcorn, but the children will have a fun time bagging it up for gifts in clear cellophane bags, bought at a craft store. Then tie the top with a perky colored ribbon and attach tags that the children designed and created. What a festive homemade gift that anyone would love to receive.
Our school counselor, Mrs. Figy-Stenstrom, who is an outstanding cook, gave this recipe to me. This is her father, Jim Figy’s, recipe and he makes this caramel corn for many special occasions. Try it and you’ll like it!
