Football's A'Poppin'

College football. Oh yeah! I love it. Mr. Doughboy and I usually have season tickets to our team. But this year, well... oops, we let the deadline lapse and didn't realize it in time. When Mr. Doughboy went down to see if we could still get tickets, there were no season tickets left. We were lucky to get tickets to three of the home games, but that was it. Sad day!

So... now we're doing the TV fan thing for the games we can't see in the stadium. Last Saturday I popped some popcorn to enjoy during the game. Some Cinnamon Caramel Corn. Yum!!!

Cinnamon Caramel Corn
1/2 C butter
1 C packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 C light corn syrup
1/2 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Over medium heat, combine first 5 ingredients and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda. Stir well. Pour over 4 quarts popped corn. Stir to coat well. Bake in large roaster or pan for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on waxed paper to dry.
