Hey! It’s Friday! Time to eat popcorn!?!

I consume an embarrassing amount of popcorn. Em.barrass.iiiiing.

What’s worse is that it’s not just any ol’ popcorn. It sorta, kinda looks like this Salted Chocolate Caramel Popcorn.

Ok, so it is this popcorn.

I’m crazy about it. I can’t keep my hands out of the bowl. I may or may not have added it to my bowl of cereal… And topped my ice cream with it…

In fact, I look forward to the weekends so I can have an excuse to make it because, as we all know, weekend calories don’t count. You shush! This is my world blog. 😀

That’s also why I chose to post this recipe on a Friday – to get you ready for the weekEND!

You know what’s also embarrassing? How easy this recipe is. Seriously. All you have to do is pop some kernels, make the caramel, throw in some chocolate chips and voila! You can prepare it during the introductory credits of that movie you’re about to watch this weekend.

    Oh my! I just love popcorn. This looks sooooo naughty but oh so good. I also love chocolate with a bit of heat…….mmmmm…..I wonder if some sprinkling of cayenne in the choc is worth a try. Popcorn with a bit more pop! I think so!
