Caramel Corn with Nuts - Gift of the Day

Filed under: Hanukkah, Christmas, Edible Gifts

Today’s featured edible gift (although you might want to keep at least one batch for yourself) is from Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake. It’s her mom’s recipe and looks to be simple and addictively tasty. It’s just freshly popped corn, a couple of cups of nuts (your choice - Rebecca used pecans, but I bet it would be delicious with almonds or peanuts) and a homemade caramel syrup. You mix the popcorn and nuts with the caramel sauce and bake in a low oven for an hour. Get the exact recipe over at Ezra Pound Cake.
