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.
If you want to add some pizazz to your popcorn, make this, like, yesterday! Don’t blame me because you didn’t double the recipe.
♥ U!
ENJOY!

I must confess. I’ve an urge to get a bowlful of reddiwhip (yeah, I eat it by the bowlful sometimes) and top it with this.
I love popcorn so much…that I have a popcorn board. Pinned this there!
And I would be eating handfuls of this stuff – chocolate + caramel. Oh, wow. Nice!!
Popcorn is the new rage right now it seems! I have been popping a lot of it, to the benefit of my kids! This looks great!
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!

Oh, this popcorn look dangerously delicious!!!
I’m so glad those weekend calories don’t count…I know I’ll just make a meal out of this popcorn and I won’t have any of those pesky calories from foods like chicken or veggies;-)

Oh yeah, I need a huge bowl of this in my life! Perfect for Friday or any day… 😉
