Happy Popcorn Day!

Did you know that today is National Popcorn Day? Me neither until just a little while ago. :) But what a great day... Popcorn is one of my very favorite snacks. Of course I had to go pop some, but no plain stuff for me today:


YUMMY!!!

This is a no-bake caramel popcorn recipe that we've made for years. I thought I would share it with you "in honor of the day!" (Of course, each day is a reason to celebrate, right? Such a precious gift from God!) Actually, I think I am going to mark this day on my calendar, after all the excitement of Christmas, it's nice to have something else fun for January.


No-Bake Caramel Popcorn
Melt: 1 stick butter or margerine
1 cup brown sugar
Add: 1 cup corn syrup
Bring mixture to a boil and boil one minute.
Remove from heat and add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
Stir into popped popcorn.
(I did about 3/4 cup unpopped popcorn. I use an air popper- buy one, you won't regret it. It has pretty much spoiled me for microwave popcorn, and it's healthier too... depending on how MUCH butter you add... ahem.)

Happy Eating!!
