Yummy treats

I’ve been busy making lots of this fun gift bags filled with some yummy treats.  First of all let me tell you how I made the bags and then I’ll share the recipe for the treats inside.
The bag is made by using the Tag a Bag Gift Bag which is actually a flat bag.  I scored the bag at 1″ on the bottom and two sides and then just folded it up like a little lunch bag.  This way it stands up .  The leave embellishments are made from Sweater Weather DSP using the Autumn Accents Die.
 
I filled the bags with yummy Carmel Corn.  Here’s the very simple recipe. 
 
Microwave Caramel Corn

½ C. butter
1 C. brown sugar
¼ C. dark Karo syrup
Dash of salt

Microwave on high 4 minutes in a glass bowl. Stir after 2 minutes
Then add:
½ t. baking soda
1/8 t. vanilla

Stir until fluffy. Pour this over the puffed popcorn (I use one full bag of the popcorn) that is in a large Tupperware bowl (or one that is safe to go back into the microwave.) Stir this up, then microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute.
Spread this out on wax paper to let it cool. If you want added sweetness, melt some chocolate almond bark and drizzle over the caramel corn. I put this in the refrigerator so the chocolate gets hardened. Then take out and break it up into smaller pieces.
Note: Here is a photo of the puffcorn that I get. This is the secret to yummy caramel corn!
