Two Bonus Recipes!

I am now adding my two favorite non-cookie goodie recipes.

Caramel Corn

(I buy the pre-popped popcorn at Walmart for $1 - it is much less expensive and a great time saver!)

In a large glass bowl put:
2 cubes of butter (yes it must be butter!)
2 cups of sugar
1 cup light corn syrup

Microwave on high for 7 minutes.
Remove from microwave and add:
dash of salt
teaspoon of vanilla
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Stir well.
Microwave on high for 12 minutes - stirring every 3 minutes. It is easiest to time if you will microwave for three minutes four times. Pour mixture over 12 cups of popcorn and stir until it is completely coated. To make into balls let mixture cool and butter your hands to make balls. We just eat it out of the bowl!

YUMMY CHEX HOLIDAY MIX:

2 cups coconut
1 cup sliced almonds
2 cups chopped pecans
1 med box rice chex
1 med box golden grahams
Mix this together in a very large bowl.
Boil the following ingredients together in a medc saucepan for three minutes. Don't begin to time until the mixture begins to boil.
1 cup granulated sugar
1 pound butter
1 cup light corn syrup
1 t. vanilla
Pour the completed mixture over the chex mix and stir to coat well with a wooden spoon. Spread out on a jelly roll pan to cool.

You might as well make two batches now because it will never last!

I am done for now but I can always add the Swedish Kringler recipe or my Microwave Peanut Brittle recipe or divinity or you just let me know!
love,
mom
