Sticky Popcorn
"This wonderful candy popcorn is from Annette B. in my church cookbook. We prefer it made with cashews and Reese's pieces as they have the perfect fall colors. Use seasonally colored M&M's for other holidays. It doesn't get hard like some popcorn recipes and is best eaten the day it is made. This makes lots and is great to give away."

I am an overtime homemaker with 2 kids ages 5 & 3. I'm also a volunteer advisor for a youth group of 12 year old girls. For fun my husband and I discover new recipes, new restaurants, and the occasional good clean film, which are rare these days. My all-time favorite cookbook is Desperation Dinners-Homecooked food for frantic families in 20 minutes or less. Pretty much describes my life. I am passionate about chocolate, morality, and learning. Sex in advertising really makes my blood boil. For a month off I would tour Europe and eat and eat.
