Winter Ride and a Popcorn Cake

Winter seems to be holding on, leaving fresh layers of snow each morning. We are being as creative as possible these days to stay sane until it warms up. Below is a video of a winter ride in the neighborhood and a recipe for a very good snack - gooey popcorn cake (a nice mix of salty and sweet). I used to get this in my college care package. It is soooo yummy.





Popcorn Cake

In large pot, heat to rolling ball:
1 cup white syrup
1 cup sugar

Melt in and stir:
10.5 ounces little marshmallows
1 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla

On a large sheet (13 x 17) spread out:
1 cup popcorn popped (3 microwave bags)
1 - 2 cups peanuts, cashews & m&m's

Pour gooey peanut butter mixture on top and fold together. May want to spray your hands with Pam spray and use hands (it will be hot). Spray Bundt pan and lightly press into pan. For good snacks to take to go, shape into balls and put in plastic bags.
