POPCORN BALL CRAZE!

I've been a bad bad girl! Yup,I decided to put my diet on the backburner yesterday and made some popcorn balls,and oooo-weeee they turned out grrreat! Oh my gosh,my sweet lil Granny used to make popcorn balls that were so hard you could use them as weapons! ha ha Bless her heart,she gave them out on Halloween every year too.(God rest her soul).I secretly wondered how many kids actually ate them.lol....Geez,these days,I wouldn't dare let MY kids eat homemade things b/c of all the craziness that goes on these days.Heck,you even have to take the candy to the hospital to have it scanned for blades and things.My,how things have changed since we were young un's.Anyways...I have the easiest recipe for the BEST popcorn balls you've ever eaten! It's so simple.ANYONE can do this..All you need is:
2 microwave bags of popcorn
2 milky ways
(1) large bag of carmel sqaures (or 2 small bags)
(1) vanilla moon-pie is optional but not necessary
Just pop both bags of popcorn.In a seperate bowl put all the unwrapped carmels in it,add broken up milky ways,and the (optional)moon pie.Put one tablespoon of butter in the bowl w/ the candies and microwave it until it melts,stirring occassionally.Approximately 2-4 minutes.Then put the popcorn in a trash sack,or any plastic bag will due,and pour in the melted carmels a little at a time while you are smashing the bag together,pressing it until all of the popcorns are mixed w/ the candy sauce.I just eat it out of the bag.lol....but you can take a handful of popcorn out at a time and form it into balls and place on a cookie sheet or a plate.
My daughters go nuts when I make these.But guilt sure is kicking in this morning after eating so much last night! lol I probably put back on the few lbs I lost.lol
Let me know how yours turn out if you decide to make em'.Oh...and E me if you have any questions.
I'm off today (if they don't call me in to work,that is).Tomorrow is gona be a loooong day,that's for sure.Gotta be in Tyler to carry my daughter to work,then I have to be back by 9:oo to go to a defensive driving class that last until 3:30(thanx to the ticket I got for no insurance).Then I have to work from 5 p.m. to closing (around midnight).OH WOW! I CAN HARDLY WAIT! ha ha Well,I wanted to lose weight,huh? What better way to do it?I can make $$ while burning off some booty at the same time.
Note to self: "Never let your insurance lapse or JUST DON'T DRIVE".The thing is....I knew better,and had the NERVE to act surprised when the cop gave me the ticket.ha ha Duhhh....
