Happy Valentine's Day

I hope that you all have a wonderful day whether or not you have a significant other. To me V-day is about doing little things to let those you love know how much they are appreciated. I feel very appreciated and loved this Valentine's Day. I received a parcel from my Mom today. Inside was a big container of Cinnamon Heart Popcorn. It was nice to know that she missed me. Spending time at home with the parental units makes them miss you when you leave. Yay for parcels from Mom... maybe I'll get one at Easter too!!

I love Cinnamon Heart Popcorn so I thought I'd share the recipe. It's easy to make and is super good.

Cinnamon Heart Popcorn
Ingredients:

• 32 cups of popped corn (not popcorn kernels, already popped popcorn!)
• 9 oz. cinnamon heart candies (just over 1 cup)
• 1 cup of butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup white corn syrup

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 250'F
• Put all ingredients except popcorn in a pot. Melt ingredients at Med heat until the cinnamon hearts are melted. Let mixture come to a boil, boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly.
• Take a large bowl or roaster to mix the popcorn with the melted cinnamon hearts. Mix well.
• Put popcorn onto cookie sheets and place in preheated oven for 1 hour stirring popcorn every 15 minutes to make sure the popcorn is covered evenly.
• Popcorn will cool quickly. When cooled place into air tight containers or bags
• Enjoy:)
