Popcorn and candy in a candy sauce. Great for the holidays! Not too chewy and won't stick to your teeth (unless you overcook the sauce)! You can customize the candy, dried fruit, and nuts to what you like. Canadian Smarties® can be used instead of M&M's®. I've known people to press the mixture into a cake pan and cut pieces, too.
Ingredients
- 15 cups plain popped popcorn
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 0.5 cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces , such as M&M's®

Pour sugar mixture over popcorn mixture; mix until evenly coated. Spread coated popcorn mixture onto prepared baking sheets; cool. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

New York Knish - Yo!
Looking for that New York knish? Well, this is pretty darn close! This will take you right back to the streets of New York!
Brookies (Brownie Cookies)
This brookie recipe was inspired by a co-worker who couldn't decide if she wanted brownies or chocolate chip cookies for her birthday treat. Since she said I should just pick one, I thought this up on the way home. I couldn't find a recipe like it on Allrecipes, so I created it. These brookies go quickly; I usually make a double batch in a jelly roll pan.
Lemon Cranberry Bread
This lemon cranberry bread is a bright, citrusy quick bread, chock full of tart, tangy dried cranberries, and finished off with a lemon-cream cheese icing. It's a tasty treat perfect for any occasion.
