I’ve been making and eating TOO much caramel popcorn since Kim at Simply Domestic posted on her blog in November, 2013 the recipe for “mom’s caramel popcorn“. It’s so yummy good that it’s hard to stop eating once you start!
Lynn Morris gave simple Valentine popcorn heart treats to our family many years ago. Now we are making them and giving others these wonderful treats for Valentine’s Day.
