Good Morning!
Here's one of those recipes that is so good you are tempted to hide it and keep it your little secret. I, on the contrary, wear pretty much everything on my sleeve - so hear it is.....(ok, it also helps that only 3 people read my blog)....
This recipe is perfect for Valentine's Day! And it makes a huge batch which is great.

Here's one of those recipes that is so good you are tempted to hide it and keep it your little secret. I, on the contrary, wear pretty much everything on my sleeve - so hear it is.....(ok, it also helps that only 3 people read my blog)....
This recipe is perfect for Valentine's Day! And it makes a huge batch which is great.
Lava Popcorn
(My Nate named it this because the candy mixture looks like lava when it boils)
2 sticks of butter or margarine
1/2 cup light corn syrup
9 oz of red hots candy (they come in 6 oz packs, so use about 1 and 1/2 packs)
8 quarts of popped popcorn (that's about 32 cups peeps)
Pre-heat your oven to 250 degrees
1) Pop your popcorn (buy cheap - I used the "light" Winn-Dixie microwavable brand and it's great)
2) I pour popcorn into a smaller bowl and then measure out into a larger one - this gives you the opportunity to pick out all of the un-popped kernels
3) Place popped popcorn in 2 large bowls (mine are REALLY large). You'll need this for mixing.
4) Boil butter, syrup, and red hots for 5 minutes (make sure it boils and all candy is melted)
5) Pour mixture over each bowl of popcorn - be careful, it's hot! Mix well.
6) Spread onto large cookie sheets evenly
7) Cook in oven for 1 hour turning popcorn (and breaking apart) every 15 minutes
Sooooooo Yummy! Enjoy!
