Hi guys! Happy Sunday! It’s actually my birthday today (gaahhh!!!) and I am in the middle of a celebratory slug fest. Like I am vegging alllllllll day. I slept in (until 7:40) very late for me. And then I vegged in a chair down stairs and now after a big lunch of crispy chicken tacos (yum) I have moved my veg to bed. And that is where I will stay, watching movies until my family comes over for the Seahawks game and to eat gluten free vegan pizza. It’s basically a perfect day.

Chocolate Candy Cane Kettle Corn

Made even better by snacking on this Chocolate Candy Cane Kettle Corn in between movies.

kosher salt

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium low. Add the popcorn kernels and let them heat for a minute (before they start popping) and then sprinkle the sugar over the kernels and put the lid on.
  2. Constantly shake the pot so that the sugar doesn’t start to burn.
  3. Let the popcorn pop until the pops are a few seconds apart, and then immediately pour out onto a sheet pan and lightly salt.
  4. Let the popcorn cool slightly.
  5. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave in a heat proof bowl and drizzle the chocolate all over the popcorn and sprinkle with the crushed candy canes.
