Fiddle Faddle
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time 25 minutes
Serves: about 4 quarts
Ingredients:
3/4 C (150g) Granulated sugar
1/4 C (~57G) Brown sugar
1/2 C (115g) Butter
1/2 C (1dL) Corn syrup
1/2 C (1dL) Water
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Real Vanilla
1 1/3 bags Plain or natural-flavored microwave popcorn
1/2 C (~60g) Roasted Almonds
Combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, water and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. You're going to bring the candy to 265-275 degrees, or what is known as the hard ball stage. For this it's best to use a candy thermometer. If you don't have one, don't worry. Drip the candy into a small glass of cold water. If the candy forms a very hard, yet slightly pliable ball, bingo, you're there. Watch your mixture closely so that it doesn't boil over. While candy cooks, pop both bags of popcorn and spread about 2 quarts or 1 1/3 bags of popcorn on one large or two small cookie sheets. Put the popcorn in your oven set on its lowest temperature. This will keep the popcorn hot so that the candy will coat better. When your candy has reached the hard ball stage, add the vanilla. Pull the popcorn from the oven and, working quickly, pour the candy over the popcorn in thin streams. Mix the popcorn so that each kernel is coated with candy, put the popcorn back into the oven for five more minutes, then stir once again. This will help to coat each kernel. You can repeat this step once more if necessary to get all of the popcorn coated. Pour popcorn onto a large sheet of wax paper to cool. Spread the popcorn out, but be careful...it's hot. When popcorn is cool, break it up and immediately put it into a tightly sealed container, such as Tupperware. This will ensure that it stays fresh. This stuff gets stale very quickly in moist climates if left out.

PEOPLE CHOW
Pour one box CHEX cereal in a large brown paper bag. Melt 1 stick of butter, one 12 ounce package chocolate chips, and 3/4 cup peanut butter together. Pour over cereal and "SHAKE" good. Add 1 box powered sugar and "SHAKE" really good again. Store tightly in air tight container, if you have enough to keep after tasting it.

Chocolate Marshmallow Crispy Bars
2 T. butter or margarine
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cups miniature marshmallows
5 cups crispy rice cereal
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a large pot, melt margarine(or butter), peanut butter, and marshmallows over low heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is smooth and ingredients are melted (approx. 4-5 mins.). Add crispy rice cereal, stiring to coat. Then add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir. The chocolate chips can also be added with marshmallow mixture to melt throughly, but we prefer to have the chips not melted all the way so it is like a marbled effect. Spread mixture into a greased 9X13 pan. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to set. Cut into bars. Yeild: 24 bars Options: 1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped You can also microwave in a 1- 1/2 quart microwave safe bowl to melt ingredients on medium for 2 minutes, stir, then microwave 2-3 more minutes and stir, until melted.
