RECIPE: Halloween Caramel Corn Cookies
These cookies from WithACh.com, packed with popcorn and candy corn, inspired us to make something much simpler: caramel corn mixed with candy corn and almonds. If that sounds too sweet for you, mix the candy corn and almonds with plain popcorn. This caramel corn cookie recipe is adapted from a base recipe from Golden Blossom Honey. You can also substitute maple syrup or the lower-glycemic agave nectar. If you use agave, try half a cup, as it’s much sweeter than honey or maple syrup. Ingredients |
