carmel popcorn...

This is a pretty funny story! At least I got a big kick out of it. My sister and I made this recipe book of all of our family favorite recipes. In there is my mom's Carmel popcorn recipe and it is awesome. She makes it every Halloween time for us and we gobble it up. I got ambitious to make it today to take the ladies I go visiting teaching too. Well, the recipe says to bring the ingredients to a soft boil and add sweeten condensed milk. Do any of you know what that means???? Well I thought it meant like a soft rolling boil and then add the milk. I guess when you are doing a candy recipe like carmel - the soft boil means stir and cook it for like an hour until it becomes a soft ball like thing when you drop it into cold water. I have never made candy or anything before and well the carmel popcorn turned out awesome. I am coming up with a new recipe for making carmel popcorn. It seriously turned out awesome, in fact one of the ladies text me and said she was in love with my popcorn.. It really turned out and I am not sure how since I stirred for like five minutes and my mom stirs for an hour. CRAZY and delicious!!

Oh that is awesome!! My mom always makes us caramel popcorn as well. :) Please share your new and improved recipe! I'm all for spending 5 minutes stirring instead of an hour!

Let me know how you make it. Jared is always wanting me to make him caramel popcorn and I don't know how.
