Happy Monday everybody! Ah, another Monday you guys, I know, I feel ya, I mean, can we not just all go on permanent vacation? Yeah, I’m definitely trying to find a way to achieve this….
anyways, since we’re all (unfortunately) still in the real world of work/school/kids/internship/herding Alpacas, whatever, then I thought I might lighten the blow with a totally yummy treat to start the week.
Hello to some easy caramel popcorn y’all. I know that I’m not the only one completely obsessed with salty sweet treats & if it’s crunchy hello! bonus! in my books, and this stuff embodies all of these wonderful things.
Let’s not forget the ‘easy’ in the title either, because I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly and easily this came together, and I would be less than honest if I didn’t admit that I literally couldn’t stop eating it, downright addictive, for reals. I can’t recommend enough that y’all make this as soon as possible, this is way too good not to have in your life. Have a wonderful day you guys and let me know if you make this 🙂
