Absolutely Adorable!
Beyond brilliant! Love it Irvin! Have a great Halloween!
Perfect!
You are unbelievable! The most thoughtful, wordless recipe ever. I bow to your inventiveness.
Happy Halloween!
What a fantastic way to showcase a recipe…wordless! I love it
Awesome post Irvin!! Love it. No words necessary!
Happy Halloween!!
Love, love, love it.
I love this. My 10 year old daughter has been begging me to make caramel corn. I plan to show her this and say: go for it!
Just make sure she has a bowl of ice water next to her in case of emergency. The 240˚F caramel can hurt – I know from experience!
Haha…the photos of you and AJ made laugh out loud. AJ would make a very convincing werewolf.
I’m speechless! love this post.
I had NO idea you could microwave regular kernels. I always pop it on the stove and end up burning it half the time! Can’t wait to try this!
Yes! The one thing with microwaving is you don’t get as many popped kernels as when you make it on the stove. I use Simply Recipes method of stovetop popping (with less oil & a teaspoon of salt in the beginning) and it works every time without burning. But nothing beats the ease of the microwave!
Totally clear and super fun! I hats off to the photographer!Thanks for this and I hope you have a great Halloween.
Awesome concept, flawless execution, and a recipe I will make tomorrow it looks so good.
Only one question: Is that really your stove? Mine is NEVER that clean!
LOL. One thing I will say about doing this wordless recipes is that it means my stove & microwave get scrubbed like they have never been scrubbed before! I don’t think either of them have been this clean since we moved in/got them.
This was awesome!! Thank you!
OMG, how come you’re so darned cute? Love you guys, and the popcorn looks super delicious.
Bravo!
When fanged people eat popcorn, do they really eat it, or does it end up all over the place like with Cookie Monster?
i love these wordless recipes!
Hey!
So glad I stumbled across your post! I love your recipes and your wordless recipe. Have downloaded your Salted Rum Caramel Bars with Macadamia Shortbread too cos that looks divine!
Thanks heaps for sharing. Keep it up!
Hugs from Bobi
Love it, especially the last pics! I am going to include this in my upcoming Halloween Recipes Post!
Hi, This looks fantastic and as an amateur bee keeper I love using honey instead of sugar, But could you clarify for me the amount of butter? I just wasn’t sure.
Thanks so much!
oh never mind! I just realized if you hover over the picture you get the info, sorry! lol
Two tablespoons or 1/4 US stick. And I love that you are bee keeper. If my landlord let me, I would totally keep bees. *sigh*
