Popcorn Cake equals Sticky Fingers!

about time for my first popcorn recipe!!!!!  this is a recipe that i have always enjoyed, and hope you do too!  some of you may want to try some sticky finger food when watching your next movie.  one item you absolutely need is a hot air popper and an appetite because these are mighty addicting!

ingredients:
16 cups popped popcorn
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter - never use margarine, it will ruin the flavor
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup Karo syrup (light)
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 cups mini-marshmallows

optional ingredients:
EXTRA VANILLA!!!
1 cup shelled peanuts
1 1/2 cups small gumdrops

directions:
mix popcorn, marshmallows and if desired the shelled peanuts and gumdrops.  in pan melt butter, add sugar and Karo syrup.  bring to a boil and simmer three minutes.  add 1/2 tsp vanilla...or desired amount, extra if you're me...pour over popcorn and mix well.

if you really want it "cake-like" use a bundt cake pan and fill it up.  let cool and turn upside down on plate.  if you're like me, eat it straight from the bowl, allow for sticky fingers to get messy and enjoy the warmth of popcorn cake.

i rate this treat 9.5 stars out of 10!
