Honey Caramel Popcorn
Step 1

Place popcorn in 2 large bowls; set aside. Grease cookie sheets; set aside.

Step 2

In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt butter, stir in brown sugar, honey granules and corn syrup. Stir over medium heat until mixture begins to boil. Stop stirring and bring mixture to 240°F on a candy thermometer (soft ball stage).

Step 3

Remove from heat, carefully stir in the baking soda; mixture will bubble up. Pour over the popcorn in the bowls. Mix quickly and carefully with greased spoons.

Step 4

Pour out onto prepared pans and let cool. Caramel will harden as it cools. Once cool, break up any large clusters.

Monster Pretzels
Step 1

Cover baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper; set aside.

Step 2

Separate candy melts per color and melt as instructed on package. Dip each pretzel into melted candy and allow any excess to run off.  Place onto prepared pan; let dry.

Step 3

Pipe on white royal icing. Then add black to make the eyes.

Step 4

Add caramel corn, monster pretzels and candy corn to treat bags. Tie with ribbon. Store in a cool, dry place
