#3 Foolproof Fudge

Super quick and tastes amazing with almost no effort - my two favorite baking requirements! 😀

I make multiple batches of this recipe. This year I made Mint Chocolate Fudge and Milk Chocolate Fudge.

#4 - Caramel Corn

CLASSIC CARAMEL CORN

INGREDIENTS:

• 2/3 cup of Popcorn popped and de-seeded (will make 24 cups)

• 9 Tablespoons of Corn Syrup

• 18 Tablespoons of Butter

• 2 ¼ cups of packed Brown Sugar

Directions for Caramel Sauce:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Put in a saucepan, stir together and bring to a boil.

3. Let boil for 5 minutes, keep an eye on it and continue to stir it.

4. When 5 minutes is up, pull it off the stove and add vanilla and baking soda and stir (it will double in size).

Add:

• ¾ teaspoons of Vanilla

• ¾ teaspoons of Baking Soda

Directions for Caramel Corn:

1. Put popcorn in a turkey broiler pan, pour caramel mixture over and stir.

2. Place in oven for 10 minutes, at 10-minute mark stir and put back in the oven for 5 minutes.

3. At 5 minute mark, pull out and stir**.

4. **If you want crisper Caramel Corn (I like it crunchier), return to oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, pull and stir one last time.

5. Then spread caramel corn on tin foil in a single layer and let cool.

6. When cooled, break it up and eat.
