Caramel Corn Sweet Treat {Share the Love}

Ok, if you're anything like me you have a ton of things you'd like to do, but very limited time to get them done.  This is the typical mom's life.  So, here is a recipe for a sweet treat to share a homemade gift with the ones you love on Valentine's Day that doesn't take a lot of time.

{This recipe is on the package for Old Dutch Puff Corn}

Caramel Corn

1 package Old Dutch Puff Corn

1 Cup Butter

1 1/4 Cups Brown Sugar

2/3 cup Light Corn Syrup

1 Tsp Baking Soda

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Combine butter, brown sugar, and light corn syrup in a 2 quart sauce pan.
• Cook on medium heat until mixture has melted.
• Once mixture has melted add the baking soda. (Note: This will cause the mixture to foam)
• In a large roaster pan pour Puffcorn and pour caramel mixture over the Puffcorn and stir until mixed.
• Place in oven for 45 minutes, stirring at least every 10-15 minutes.
• Remove from oven, pour on wax paper and break apart.
• Let cool and ENJOY a few!

After it cools, put in in a decorative cellophane bag.  Twist tie them shut.  Add a ribbon.  I tore strips of fabric for mine.  Add a personalized note and tie them on with Divine Twine.

My kids love taking a bag of baked goodness around to the neighbors.  They also like giving these to teacher's and the mail man.  Enjoy sharing the sweet love.  Happy Valentine's Day!
