GOURMET POPCORN

Try making your own gourmet popcorn right in your own kitchen!

Be sure to ask a grown-up to help you melt the butter
or margarine and to take the baking dish in and out of the oven.

Pour popped popcorn into a large baking dish.
Add 1 cup dry roasted peanuts and 1/3 cup shredded coconut.
Don't stir yet.

Measure 2 tablespoons butter or margarine into small saucepan.
Melt butter and add 1/4 cup honey. Stir.

Drizzle butter-honey mixture over popcorn mixture. (Use a rubber scraper, if you have one).

Put baking dish in oven at 300F. Bake for 20 minutes.
Stir occasionally with rubber scraper, or wooden spoon.

Carefully remove dish from oven using kitchen mitts. Cool and enjoy!

OPTION: While popcorn mixture is in the oven, prepare 3/4 cup dried apricots
and/or 3/4 cup peanuts or raisins. Stir these into the popcorn after cooling
popcorn slightly and turning with a pancake turner.

Pour all into a big bowl and serve.

Makes about 7 cups.
