Happy New Year!
 Popcorn twist caramel corn


Once again we approach the end of another year. It seems to go by faster and faster! I am looking toward the future with new hope, excitement and trust. Hope that the year to come will bring answered prayers. Excitement for what is to come and what lies ahead! Trust that we will continue to have good health, a roof over our head, food on our table and many, many more blessings we have already at our finger tips. 


Today I thought I would share with you a quick and tasty treat to share with your family and friends! This takes minutes to prep and prepare! It's also the perfect snack for your New Years party! 


You will need one bag of these popcorn twists, not your traditional popcorn! That means no husks! Yay! 

You will also need:



  • 1/2 lb butter (do not substitute margarine)

  • cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup corn syrup

  • teaspoon baking soda


  • In a Large (2 qt) sauce pan, cook together butter, brown sugar and corn syrup for 2 minutes after butter has melted and it starts to gently boil. Add baking soda to mixture. This will cause mixture to foam - that is why you need a large saucepan. Allow to foam to cook down slightly.


    Pour caramel mixture over popcorn twists and stir until mixed.


    Place in oven for 35-45 minutes, (35 for chewy corn, 45 for crunchy), stirring at least every 10-15 minutes.


    Remove from oven and pour on wax paper. Allow to cool slightly and break apart.


    These are truly delicious and super addictive! They are so buttery, salty, sweet and crunchy: perfect combo if you ask me! 



    Hope you have a great New Years day! Enjoy!
