Today’s Munchie was supposed to be a Paddington Bear inspired Italian treat.  It is very simple- less than a half dozen ingredients, of which I have two. Is it time to visit the grocery store? I think so!

I know that there are thousands of people furiously clicking “refresh” as they seek my culinary wisdom, so I have pulled one of our favorite movie night recipes to share.  Stir up a batch and sit down to your favorite holiday movie marathon. (If you like a less sticky popcorn, try our shake on popcorn toppings.) Our absolute favorite version uses raspberry gelatin and dried apple pieces.  It is delicious!

Ingredients:

1- 2.9 ounce bag microwave popcorn, popped

¼ cup butter

1/8 cup light corn syrup

¼ teaspoon salt

1/8 cup water

¼ cup white sugar

1- 3 ounce package fruit flavored gelatin mix, your favorite flavor

¼ teaspoon baking soda

Optional: ½ cup mix-ins, such as nuts, candy or dried fruit pieces

Directions: Pre-heat oven to 200˚.

Pour popped popcorn into a 9×13 glass dish.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, corn syrup, salt, water, white sugar and gelatin mix.  Bring to a boil and
maintain boil for 5 minutes.

Add baking soda to mixture and stir until foamy.  Pour foaming mixture over popcorn and use a wide spatula to stir and coat
popcorn.  If you wish to add mix-ins, add at this point.

Bake for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes.  Remove from oven and allow to cool.  Break apart and enjoy.

What is your must have snack for holiday movie watching?
