These reindeer popcorn boxes are just what your holiday needs! Caramel popcorn, red nosed candies (Sixlets) and candy cane antlers are tucked inside a darling popcorn box. This post contains affiliate links.
When it comes to Christmas characters, Rudolph is my favorite. I just love that red nose and it is so fun to incorporate into cute holiday crafts! I decided to combine our FAVORITE caramel popcorn recipe with my favorite holiday character and our reindeer popcorn boxes were born.
I even added red nosed candies (Sixlets) which are amazing mixed with caramel corn. Such a great flavor combination. Sixlets are candy coated chocolate and carob. They are so yummy. Each box comes together in about 30 seconds, making them a super easy craft to make with kids, to make for class parties, or to give as party favors.
