Cinnamon Caramel Corn

This turned out pretty good... exCEPT... 2 TBS of honey needs to be increased. Mom and I both agree on that.

Cinnamon Caramel Corn Favorite All Time Recipes: Diabetic Snacks  pg. 58

• 8 C air-popped popcorn (about 1//3 C kernels)
• 2 TBS honey
• 4 tsp butter
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray jelly-roll pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place popped corn in large bowl.

Cook and stir honey, butter, and cinnamon in small saucepan over low heat until butter is melted and mixture is smooth; immediately pour over popcorn. Toss to coat evenly. Pour onto prepared pan; bake 12 to 14 minutes or until coating is golden brown and appears crackled, stirring twice during baking time.

Let cool on pan 5 minutes. As popcorn cools the coating becomes crisp. If no crisp enough or if popcorn softens upon standing, return to oven and heat 5 to 8 minutes.

I.. ummm... didn't have any butter so I used an olive oil/canola oil mix, but more honey still is needed.

Chocolate Brownies

The best I've ever tasted or made, I love these brownies. And no "hydrogenated" anything. Unless you use the "hydrogenated oil/butter substitute". I use butter. Yes yes... animal fat product, but I like it and it's so much better than fake stuff.

I found this recipe in The Household Searchlight Recipe book, 1941, pg 132. When I looked for a brownie recipe in the index I couldn't find it. I looked under Brownies. Wasn't there. I did finally stumble upon it in the Cs, Chocolate Brownies. Of course! Why didn't I think of that! LOL But I did find it. I've used other brownie recipes since I found this one, but always go back to this one. It does take a little while to get it put together, but well worth it. mmmmmmmmmm....

Chocolate Brownies pg 132 The Household Searchlight Recipe Book

2 squares chocolate 1/2 C cake flour

3 eggs 1 C chopped nuts

1 C sugar 1/8 tsp salt

1/2 C butter

(I use cocoa, hubby doesn't like nuts so I usually don't add those, and I use about 3/4 C sugar. Yes... I play with the recipes.)

Melt chocolate and butter over hot water. Beat egg yolks until light. Add sugar, salt, chocolate, and butter. Mix thoroughly. Sift flour. Measure. Add flour and nuts. Mix thoroughly. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour into shallow, well-oiled pan. Bake in moderate over (375 degrees) about 15 minutes. Cut into squares. Cool. Remove from pan. 8 servings.

I think I cook it a little longer than the 15 minutes. I will just have to make it again to find out. LOL It has been awhile since I made brownies!
