Caramel Popcorn

This is just plain yummy!!!!



And pretty healthy, too, as far as sweets go! After Chaeli tried it the first time she said with a huge smile, "This doesn't taste like it's healthy!" That's how it should be, right? Healthy treats should taste good too!

The recipe comes from Kyong's Weatherby's facebook page of recipes as well as one of her Taste of Heaven cookbooks. It is as follows:

POPCORN CARAMEL

1/2 c unpopped popcorn or 14 cups popcorn
1/4 c maple syrup
1/4 c peanut butter
1 T black strip molasses
1 T turbinado sugar (I used cane juice crystals)
1/4 tsp sea salt

Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Make popcorn and put into a large bowl. Set it aside. Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well. Pour liquid mixture into the popcorn, and mix well with two spoons or hands. Put it on 11 x 14 cookie sheet and bake for 45 minutes. Cool it completely. It should be crunchy and delicious!
