this is very good and a nice change from caramel corn, with many variations to suit your own taste, or in my case-what I had on hand. I used some mini M&Ms, caramel filled M&M’s, peanuts, and raisins. Easy to make and done in no time. very nice snack and the M&Ms give it a nice pop of color for the holidays.

This is a very fast and easy popped corn treat! Used two packs of Microwave popcorn (Kettle Corn), 1 ½ c of M&M peanut butter treats instead of nuts. Lots of syrup coating to go all over. Very tasty! Two large cookie sheets!

The sweet popcorn was easy to make. The sugar syrup was not too hard or too soft. I made some witches’ shoes out of black cardstock and scrapbook paper. I added the popcorn to a clear bag and tied it with a ribbon and placed in the witches’ shoes.
