This popcorn was intended for my husband’s mom and sister. They watched Owen for Brett and I last Saturday while we attended our good friends’ wedding. Brett was a groomsmen so it was an all-day affair for us. We spent the entire day kid free, which was so nice considering it happened to be Brett’s 27th birthday too!
I wanted to leave my MIL and SIL with a treat to enjoy while they watched the stinker bug (I was worried it could be a long day…he an be a feisty one). Plus, isn’t it standard procedure to hook the babysitters up with yummy food and treats? Even if your sitter is the aunt and grandma.
Unfortunately, they never saw the likes of this popcorn. We had some friends over the night before and the boys got to it. I mean really got to it. At the end of the night I saw the empty bag laying on our counter with just a few remaining Oreo crumbs. Wah wah.
Don’t worry about me though, I got my taste, earlier–when I was making it! I couldn’t even let the stuff cool before I dug my hands in it. I got the recipe from Sing For Your Supper and I chuckled when I read her warning: “this snack is highly addictive and could cause awesomeness overload- a rare, but critical side effect to snack awesomeness. Munch with caution.”
I can tell you there is no munching with caution (as would the boys who devoured it). And I’m just sorry my in-laws didn’t get to experience it’s awesomeness.
I did buy them donuts?
Guess it’s a good thing Owen is such a treat himself.

OMG! looks wonderful.
This looks awesome. Popcorn is high in fiber, right? Definitely a healthy treat 😉
looks great- is there a specific type of popcorn you suggest using… like kettle corn, butter, just plain?
Yup this is DIVINE!

That looks so good! And super simple. We are in the same ward! You even teach my brother’s sunday school class 🙂 I’m always in primary, but hopefully we can catch each other soon!
@ Claire,
I just used plain popcorn! But buttered wouldn’t be bad I’m sure!
