Christmas comes but once a year!!

tis the season to be jolly...fa.la.la.la.la.la.la.la.

Christmas count down is almost here...put up your advent calendars and get your holiday decorations out of the attic~ clean out the cobwebs, hang your lights, decorate the tree, and start baking those yummy tasty holiday treats!
My family has their favorites, like most do, and we love peanut butter balls, homemade sugar cookies, fudge, and a few others...:) 

I have a fun new recipe to try this year and it's called "Snickers Popcorn"

It's a tasty popcorn treat filled with chocolate, caramel corn, melted snicker bars, and drizzled chocolate!! If you would like to join in and try this out here is the recipe I found:

Ingredients:
-8 quarts air popped corn (2 cups)
-1 cup salted butter
-2 cups light brown sugar, packed
-1 teaspoon salt
-1/2 cup light corn syrup
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 cup salted peanuts
-30 "fun size" snickers bars chopped up
-3 oz. melted semi sweet chocolate

Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven to 200 degrees
2. Over medium heat boil butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup for 5 min. 
3. Remove from heat and stir in your baking soda.
4. Pour over your popcorn and stir to coat evenly.
5. Transfer to waxed paper lined counter and sprinkle peanuts on top. stir until all is coated evenly.
6. transfer popcorn into a large roasting pan and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and stir in your chopped snickers. Return to oven for 3 more minutes so the snickers begin to melt slightly into popcorn.
8. Remove from pan and transfer popcorn back to wax paper to cool.
9. Drizzle melted chocolate on top of popcorn if desired.
10. Let set and store in an airtight container.
