    Popcorn is one of my favorite things! My favorite way to eat popcorn though is when my Mom and I get together every Halloween and make Carmel Popcorn Balls (with M&M's)! They are gooey and delicious!

    I love to make caramel corn. I put in tons of pecans that I add first to the caramel so they get coated, too. So delicious!

    My favorite is Movie popcorn - the kind you can only get at the theater. I also love caramel popcorn. I had Garrett's popcorn once when a co-worker brought some in after her weekend trip to Chicago. It was yummy and addictive! My birthday is coming up, so I hope I win this treat for me! :)

    Kettle corn is my favorite, but I love any kind of salty/sweet popcorn combo, particularly if there is chocolate involved!

    ReplyDelete
  38. AnnaZedJune 29, 2009 at 5:24 PM

    I thought that I invented that (!): mixing the cheese and the caramel in a bowl to snack on while watching a game or movie. The salt and the sweet is a great combination.

    Maybe I heard about Garrett's doing it on Oprah. I would love to taste the real thing.

    It's a tossup between simply stovetop-popped with butter, or Garrett's caramel - which I haven't eaten in about 10 years, but can still remember from my time in Chicago...
