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!

Well the popcorn we eat on the weekENDS is boring compared to this! We would definitely be eating a lot more popcorn if I served it like this. What a great snack!
I love popcorn too!! It really is sooo addicting!! I am going to try this soon! 🙂
Yes, finally someone concurs – what we eat on the weekend has absolutely no merit. Thank you! 😀
Now, if you’ll please excuse me, I’m going to make some of this fabulous popcorn.
This would be dangerous to have around. It looks crazy good. I love caramel corn!
Perfect snack food for watching TV. Chocolate and caramel…oh yeah… definite winner. 🙂
