Holiday time is when all the nibbley food come out and you gain umpteen pounds enjoying it all just so you can make a New Years resolution to lose it all again.
The next two posts are of some snacky food that I've made, served and enjoyed with great friends this year that I thought I would share with you.
Wishing you all a Blessed New Year!
Caramel Popcorn
20-28c popped popcorn (or ~1c unpopped)
1/2c margarine
2c brown sugar
1/2c corn syrup
1t salt
1/2t baking soda
1t vanilla
1-2c peanuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 250*F.
Put popped popcorn, and peanuts if using, is a large ovenproof pan (I use my roasting pan). Put pan in oven to keep warm. Mix margarine, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt together in a med saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring often. Boil for 5 min, WITHOUT STIRRING. Add vanilla and baking soda, stir and immediately pour over popcorn. Stir until all is coated. Bake in oven for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Let cool, break apart and enjoy!
