Ghosts for Halloween
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can make these cute little ghosts together with children, letting them decorate the figures. The main thing is to carefully shape the caramel popcorn base to avoid burning your hands! By the way, you can also use ready-made popcorn if you don't have kernels on hand. Serve chilled.
