Hi there! Today was our second day of holidays and I promised because it was $2 Tuesday at the DVD shop that it was going to be a movie day which was perfect because I still need to get some sewing done. When we have a movie day we close all the blinds and get comfy and eat popcorn. Miss 5 asked today whether she could have caramel popcorn and remembering I had a recipe I was happy to make it for them. I just love Donna Hay and her kids issue magazine. I remembered in one of my copies that there were some recipes for flavoured popcorn and so found the caramel recipe. This is the recipe for the caramel I used:
Combine 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup golden syrup, 40g butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 teaspoons of water in a saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Bring to the boil and cook for 3 minutes. Stir through popcorn.
It was very sweet, sticky and a bit messy but they enjoyed it all! And with my lovelies enjoying watching their DVD's I was able to finish the bag that I started last week so it can go into the mail for Christmas, yeah!
The other exciting news in our house was that Miss 5 lost her first tooth last night! She woke to some gold money and a special little gift because it was her first tooth, gee that means that she is growing up!:( 
Have a good day tomorrow and I hope to see you soon.Smiles Catherine xox
Congrats on the tooth Miss 5! That popcorn looks scrumptious. Glad to hear you had some time to sew and think. xo m.
ReplyDeleteThat popcorn sounds yummy. It's very similar to a recipe I make with chex mix and popcorn!
ReplyDeleteYay!! Miss D just lost her second! Exciting and scary at the same time. Yummy pop corn, do you use normal pop corn or bag? xox
