I got this recipe from a lady I work with. I made some today, and it may be a new favorite treat!! You gotta try it...it's yummy and it doesn't take that long!
Ingredients:
15 cups air-popped popcorn
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter (you can use creamy, or chunky...I like the chunky personally)
pop your popcorn and set aside in a large bowl. In a sauce pan combine sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter. Allow it to get hot enough to slightly boil, but be careful not to scorch it. Let it lightly boil until it almost has the consistency of caramel and remove from heat. Pour it over your popcorn, and mix well through the entire bowl. Serve while still slightly warm...or you can also put it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it again so it's soft. I haven't tried to make these into popcorn balls yet, but I think I might try it with my next batch :) ENJOY!

6 random facts about me (gee thanks amy!)
I got tagged by Amy...so here's six random facts about me:
1. It drives me crazy to not finish things...so I end up staying late, or spending far too much time trying to finish my project at the time.
2. Christmas & Halloween are my two favorite holidays (I've had my house decorated for Halloween since the first of September)...with the 4th of July coming in at third place.
3. I have issues with jumping around on hobbies. I get into something and go gung-ho, then I get burned out...so I have a ton of different hobbies...yet if you were to ask me what my hobbies are, I would have no idea what to tell you. I feel like I don't really have any?! Odd...I know.
4. I have turned into a freak about having my house clean. It use to annoy me so bad when my mom would have to have the house clean from top to bottom...and now I'm the same way!
5. I love to be a hermit at home. People give me crap because I never go out anywhere...what can I say?! I like being at home!
6. I hated to read books until I got into college. I don't think I ever finished a book before I was in college. I started reading because I was broke and didn't have the money to go do anything...so I'd escape into a make-believe world in writing. Now I absolutely love it!!!
