Ingredients

  • 8 oz caramel
  • 4 ice cream cones
  • 4 cups popped popcorn there should be enough for you to munch as you make these
  • powdered sugar optional
  • 4 pieces printed card stock trimmed 3" x 1/2"

Instructions

  • Warm the caramel in short bursts (15-20 seconds each) in the microwave until the caramel is still thick but warm enough that it can act as glue. If you overheat the caramel, wait for it cool.
  • Starting at the wide base of the cone, dip each popcorn into the caramel and "glue" it on the cone. Work your way around and to the top of the cone. Place the tree gently on a small dish and chill in the refrigerator until firm.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you want a snowy effect, and add the card stock for your place card.

Notes

Edible place cards! If you wish to eat these, you can! It's also good with a little ice cream on the side.
How much popcorn to pop? If you are popping your own popcorn, 2 tablespoons of popcorns makes about 4 cups, however it's usually a little less after accounting for un-popped kernels. If you want to make lots of extra for munching (about 7-8 cups of popcorn total) you can pop 1/4 cup of kernels.
