Special times require special treats, like our Chocolate-Covered Strawberries!
- Did you know that plain, unbuttered popcorn makes a great packing material for shipping things like cookies? Of course, this popcorn is something you'll want to wrap and send as a gift all by itself! Finally, a snack that tastes great and is good for us! Popcorn is a whole-grain food that's low in calories (when made without hydrogenated oils and butter topping) and is a good source of fiber. The National Cancer Institute, the American Dental Association and the American Dietetic Association suggest that popcorn is a sensible, versatile snack that fits into almost every meal plan.

I would never have thought of adding mixed nuts. What a splendid idea. Yep, I am a popcorn lover and we as a family enjoy a bowl or two during movie night. We used butter and flavored powders to jazz up the trusted snack. As far as the candy type popcorns we relied on store bought, until now. I can not wait to try this caramel nut crunch popcorn.

I have not made this recipe myself, but have made a similar version of this in the microwave in a brown paper grocery bag. For best results, especially is warmer climates, store in Tupperware. It seals beautifully and prolongs the life of your food. Obviously, I'm a Tupperware consultant, but from previous experience with plastic bags and no-brand-name plastic storage containers, Tupperware is the only way to go!

Warning: This stuff is highly addictive! Have already made 2 batches...they don't last for more than a day! Making a batch to put into Halloween bags for the neighborhood kids...they'll love it...if their parents don't get to it first!
