Grandpa Kline's Poppycock {Not Your Average Caramel Corn}

I just can't wait for Friend Friday to share this with you all! This recipe is tried and true from the kitchen of our dear cousin Rachel Reynolds. We love these cookies and they are exceptionally cute when you take orange icing and draw a tiger paw on top for GAME DAY... Or, if you are a  little less of a Clemson fanatic, just a cute fall pumpkin! :) We do realize that not everybody spends their weekends baking goodies and covering them in decorative tiger paws, though we have yet to understand why!
