...by making caramel corn at 10:00 in the morning.
I am not quite sure if this picture looks appetizing or not, but let me tell you, this is the best caramel corn EVER! So crunchy and buttery and fattening. Yum!
Occasionally I like to break out of the we-have-to-be-responsible "mom" mode and just have some fun with my kids. As soon as the popcorn starting popping, they were surrounding me in the kitchen with smiles. Apparently this was a long-needed break for us. Life doesn't have to be serious and healthy all the time, you know.
I suggest letting the kids eat this all at one time, otherwise you will be snacking here, snacking there, all day long, until you realize you have eaten about 10 cups of caramel corn. Not that this is from personal experience or anything, I simply want to issue the warning. Just in case.
I hope your day is sweet!
