White Chocolate Candy Cane Popcorn

I realized this morning that there are only 3 days until Christmas.  3 DAYS!  That is it! I haven’t made treats.  I haven’t wrapped any presents.  Christmas is coming and I am not at all ready for it. I wanted to make some type of treat.  I wanted it to be easy and I wanted it to be delicious.  As I thought and thought about it, I decided to make…

White Chocolate Candy Cane Popcorn. 

I ended up making 8 batches of it tonight.  Even though it is delicious…I don’t think that I will be making it again any time soon.

Happy Treat Making Day!! (Is that such a day…it is for me?!)

things of comfort...

I was just thinking of things that bring me great comfort in my life. As I started listing things of comfort--I found that the list seems to go on and on. But, I think that the one that is pretty close to the top is a big bowl of popcorn. Popcorn is definitely a comfort food for me. It brings those wonderful endorphins into my heart.

Whenever I smell the aroma of popcorn popping or hear the sound of those kernels popping--it brings me back to living at home with my parents. I love that feeling--the feeling of security. Growing up, I would have to say that one of my mom's favorite treats was popcorn. Mom would make a HUGE bowl of popcorn and when she came into the living room--she would have a bowl for each of us. Sometimes she would surprise us by adding things to the popcorn. One of my favorites would be when she would add slices of tart green apples to the popcorn. Oh, deliciousness!! Do you add things to your popcorn? It would be interesting to hear what you add?




P.S. I am grateful for the sense of smell and the sense of taste and for having great parents!!!
