I'm really not sure what sent me over the edge with my calorie limit during today's Super Bowl festivities. The chili, homemade breadsticks, cheese and crackers, best black bean salad, ice cream, or Grandma's ooey-gooey-sticky popcorn. But looking at the list of ingredients, it was probably the popcorn.
Grandma's ooey-gooey-sticky popcorn
4 qt. popcorn (or 2 bags of microwave popcorn)
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light Karo syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups cashews or peanuts
3 cups miniature marshmallows
Mix popcorn, nuts, and marshmallows in a large (very large) bowl. Melt butter and add syrup and sugar. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Simmer three minutes, add vanilla, and pour over popcorn. Then run a marathon to burn off all those delicious calories!
