We love this Carmel-drizzled mix of popcorn, almonds and cereal. Make plenty to share. A simple plastic bag can be beautifully dressed up with a perfect bow tied around the top. They make yummy gifts for all the snackers on y0ur Christmas list.
Add a gift tag with a narrow red ribbon or use a 3 inch pre-tied elastic bow inserted through the hole in the tag leaving the bow on the tag and the looped end can be wound around the top of the bag and will help secure it since it is elastic.
