I had a dilemma after trick or treating. After my girls came home with a brown grocery bag full of candy.
What can we do with all of this.
They certainly didn't need to eat all of it right away like they wanted. So I started to think of creative ways to use the candy's for treats over this holiday season.
Today was a pinterest kinda idea, I saw some delicious snickers popcorn. I did roughly the same thing just added whatever candy I wanted rather than just snickers.
We decided to have a family movie night with this special popcorn.
2 cups popcorn kernels
1/2 cup peanuts
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp baking soda
about 30 halloween chocolate bars
sprinkle of chocolate chips
1. Pop your popcorn with an air popper & preheat oven to 200
2. mix butter, corn syrup, brown sugar and pinch of salt in a large saucepan. Cook on Medium heat until boiling. Boil for 5 minutes.
4. Pour caramel corn mixture onto wax paper and cooking pans. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Stirring every 15 minutes.
5. Take out of oven add chopped candy and chocolate chips. Mix well and bake for 3 more minutes.
6. Completely cool (hard I know)
Enjoy!
