Walking Takis Street Corn
This walking Takis street corn recipe is my take on Mexican street corn in a bag of fiery chili-lime Takis. No forks required—finger food at its finest. The corn mixture is a bit bland on its own, but the chile and lime in the Takis make it the perfect combo.
Caramel Pretzel Nut Popcorn
This caramel pretzel nut popcorn recipe makes a very good holiday treat that my kids can't get enough of. It combines the sweetness of caramel with the saltiness of pretzels, nuts and popcorn. There is no mess because it is mixed in a large throw-away brown bag!
