So I checked out MARTHA STEWART "she who knows all" and found a recipe for caramel almond popcorn click here You see when I was little my father and mother would make these amazing popcorn balls. I would watch them squeeze and form these perfect round popcorn delights and so I longed to make an equally tasty treat.
So I brought all the ingredients to the said proper temperature.
Poured this over my mix of popcorn and slivered almonds and got ready to mix and form. It didn't take more than 1/2 a second to realize this could be a very dangerous thing to attempt.
You guessed it. I got a nasty blister from the sugar mix.....................dah!!!! What was I thinking? The popcorn was great but, this particular recipe was just too thick for what I had in mind. My quest will continue. What do you do with popcorn?...............said the hobbit

I love candy corn but ouch!!!! 99 times of 100 I pop it stove top, in oil and add lots of butter and salt. YUM!
Me too! But, then I get this urge to do something different and ........Well, you know how that is.
I come from a family which had popcorn once a week for an evening meal. We loved it and now my family gets excited when the popper comes out - always with butter and salt.
The big treat is caramel corn using a similar boiled brown sugar, soda and butter mix; poured over the popcorn then baked in the oven. The baking gives it some crunch! Nuts can be added as desired - wonderful. I have always used a large spoon to stir with, and seeing your burns look way too painful.
I know Connie I should have know better.
Yummy popcorn combo!
When we are looking for something just a little different to do with pop corn we use butter and GARLIC salt. Yum.
