Caramel Popcorn
Oh my gosh, this is fabulous!! My first batch I cooked for the full hour and I did not like that at all--has the consistency of Cracker Jack, which I don't like. My husband liked that one though. So my next batch I only cooked for 15 minutes in the oven and then took it out. That was perfect!! Needless to say, it's all gone for Christmas gifts and now my kids are asking me to make more. This recipe is a keeper!

Sugar Cookie Icing
This is a good recipe but as others have mentioned, the measurements are way off. For me, I put in 6 tsp of milk with the sugar and then mixed until smooth. Then I added the 2 tsp corn syrup. I nixed the extract. I tried peppermint extract in the first batch but it tasted like eating toothpaste, so the next batch, I just didn't add any extract. Next time I might add vanilla. The icing dries nice and smooth on the cookie. With 2 batches of icing, I had enough to decorate about 64 sugar cookies.

Holiday Peppermint Bark
This is a very good recipe. It tastes much like those Hershey's white chocolate/peppermint kisses! Very easy to make. I added a bit of peppermint extract to the chocolate and I didn't melt the chips in the microwave but in a double boiler. Worked great! I did try the first batch with dark chocolate on the bottom and it worked out okay but I think I like just the plain white chocolate better. I also sprinkled some candy cane "dust" in with the white chocolate after it was melted but before I put in the pan and it makes it look very nice.
