MMMMMM...Carmel Corn

I've been wishing for an excuse to make some carmel corn. My little boys are coming over for their swimming lesson today and we'll have sandwiches for lunch but there isn't anything else fun around here ! Carmel corn to the rescue....It's such a fun treat and in 15 minutes you have it done and cleaned up !

Microwave Carmel Corn
½ cup brown sugar
2 T light Karo syrup
1 cube butter
Popcorn- ½ cup unpopped kernals
Cook 1st 3 ingredients in microwave glass dish for 3 minutes. Stir. Cook 1 ½ min. more (Microwave should be set on high) add ¼ tsp. baking soda and stir and immediately pour over popcorn. Mix together.

While the popcorn pops in the air popper, you can measure out all the other ingredients. I move the airpopped popcorn into another bowl so I can make sure I get all the "old maids" out. Then while the ingredients are cooking in the microwave you can clean up the popcorn popping things and get it into the biggest bowl you've got. Once it's stirred together all that is left is wash a few bowls and eat the popcorn ! Fast and easy ! Just be sure to use a glass bowl to cook the sugar/syrup....Jamie could be witness to that ! MMMMM done and ready for little boys to eat !

And eat they did ! swimming makes you HUNGRY ! We finally resorted to graham crackers with peanut butter dunked in milk this afternoon ! But fun was had by all, even 2 took naps,

Ethan is enjoying "breaking in " his new blankie. They sure had fun swimming , I swam with them at 9:30 before the teacher came and she was just so impressed at their progress, Garrett is so brave now to get the rings off the last step and go deep in the water and Aiden is diving like a pro ( she said like the 8 year olds !) We got out the hula hoop and he's having fun diving thru it now.

We had a room size fort going with authentic tinker toy guns !

Off to make "real" food for dinner since the carmel corn isn't to sustaining !!!
