It was baking day around here yesterday
{Thanks, Traci, for all of your help.}
This is the Cinnamon Bun Popcorn that we made.
The recipe is from Best Bites.
I tripled the it.
It was so easy & so yummy!
Cinnamon Bun Popcorn
12 C popped popcorn (about 1/2 C kernels)
1 C pecan halves, roughly chopped
1 C brown sugar
3/4 t cinnamon
1/4 C karo syrup (or honey makes a good substitution)
1 stick real butter (1/2 C)
1t vanilla
1/2 t baking soda
3 squares almond bark (about 4 oz)
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Place popcorn and chopped pecans in a large bowl and set aside.
Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a 2 liter capacity microwave safe bowl. Mix well. Chop butter into chunks and place on top of sugar mixture. Pour corn syrup over the top of everything. Microwave on high for 30 seconds and then stir to combine. Return to microwave and heat for 2 minutes. Remove and stir and then microwave for 2 minutes more.
Remove from microwave and add in vanilla and baking soda. Stir to combine. Mixture will foam and rise. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and pecans and stir very well so everything is well coated.
Spread popcorn mixture onto a foil-lined jelly roll pan. Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and spread out on a large piece of parchment, waxed paper, or foil.
Melt almond bark according to package instructions. Drizzle over popcorn mixture. When almond bark is hardened and popcorn is cool, break into chunks and enjoy!
Neighbor goodies are done & delivered.
The plan for today is to get all of the wrapping done. {fingers crossed}
I am signing off for the rest of the week to enjoy this time with my family.
But, before I go I want to say thank you to all of you wonderful ladies who left kind comments for me, my sisters & mom about our homes.
It was so much fun to read them all.
Have a Merry Christmas!

Ok, first of all. Yum!! I can almost smell it! Second, I find it funny that when people show pictures of something, I tend to take a sneak peak around their homes at the other things in the picture. I can't be the only person that does this. I am so in love with your window seat and all the lovely pillows. I can almost see the rug under the table and I know that i would love that too. Ok, that's it, done stalking through your house. Have a Merry Christmas!
Yum! Looks delish!

Hey, if you get a chance (and you haven't already...), stop by and check out my blog for my new music for 2011. I would love some new followers and comments to get me started! Love, Victoria
'spose it would help if I tell you where the blog IS: www.archangelmusic.blogspot.com :)
This sounds delicious - I think I'll try it for an afterschool snack this week! Thanks!
Do you absolutely HAVE to use butter? I have a dairy free kid who would love this. Any chance we could use a dairy free substitution?
