Vegetative State

I guess Sea World sucked the juice right out of us, because we are ALL having a tough time working up the drive to do much of anything past staying in our pajamas and rotting our brains with sugar and TV.

And what’s better than movie night popcorn? Movie night popcorn covered in nuts, cranberries and chocolate!

This recipe is adapted from one in the latest Southern Living:

1 bag of butter flavored microwave popcorn. Popped, extra kernals removed.
1 cup salted mixed nuts
1 cup dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips, melted in the microwave.

Mix it all up, and spread it on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Pop it in the fridge for a while until it hardens.

Warning: Have wipes or wet rags on hand when eating. Warm little hands do a good job of melting the chocolate and getting it on every surface in a 10 mile radius.

Now back to my impersonation of broccoli.
