Clover's Cookin'!: Craveable Caramel Popcorn

A good friend and I have a tradition of making caramel popcorn and then consuming it (a giant bowl for each of us) while watching "I Love Lucy"! It's one of our favorite past times! This is seriously the best caramel popcorn! And I use this recipe for caramel in many other recipes...Enjoy!

The Best Caramel Popcorn Ever!
(Thank you Hollie Fletcher)

(Makes two giant bowls of caramel popcorn)
1 cube butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup Karo syrup

Stir and bring to a boil. Put candy thermometer in mixture and continue boiling until it reaches 240 degrees.

Remove from stove and quickly mix in:

1 can sweet and condensed milk

Stir until creamy. Immediately pour over popcorn. Stir until popcorn is completely coated.

Note: This amount of caramel is perfect with 1 1/2 scoops - 2 scoops of popcorn kernels--We like it with lots of caramel!

Of Things That Matter Most

"Since 'no other success can compensate for failure' here, we must place high priority on our families. We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together.

In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship."

--Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the First Presidency

Good, Better, Best

"The number of those who report that their 'whole family usually eats dinner together' has declined 33 percent. This is most concerning because the time a family spends together 'eating meals at home [is] the strongest predictor of children’s academic achievement and psychological adjustment.' Family mealtimes have also been shown to be a strong bulwark against children’s smoking, drinking, or using drugs. There is inspired wisdom in this advice to parents: what your children really want for dinner is you."

--Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
