My mom has been making this recipe around the holidays for years now and always a huge hit! Try adding in nuts like Pecans to make it that much better!! -
I can't believe only 2 people have reviewed this recipe. I have been making it for several years & it is one of the treats everyone requests at Christmas. I know our friends south of the border don't have Old Dutch Popcorn Twists, but they could make it with Chester's butter flavored Puffcorn by FritoLay. Great recipe, a must try for anyone who likes caramel corn but not the popcorn hulls. -
Awesome! this is so easy to make. Don't know why I havent made it before now. Its been on the back of the bag of popcorn twists forever! It will be a definate keeper on the Candy list. -
This recipe is sooooo good it is ridiculous. A friend brought some of this in to our night class, and it was gone in seconds. Awesome and easy!! Thank you for posting it!

A quote that my Dad thought was fitting to both himself and me.
<br>
<br>A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into any dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don?t like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!

<br>My need to experiment and want to cook tasty meals came to me after being diagnosed Celiac in December of 1999.
<br>What would I have done without the Zaar?
<br>
<br>I love to create tasty meals that are either already GF or modify to make them so. I love to make GF meals and desserts that my guests ask are you sure you can eat this? Then I know I have a winner!
