White, Sweet, Buttery Coating
3 pieces White Bark
1/3 cup Shedd*s Light (or w/Calcium) Country Crock Margarine
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1 Tsp. vanilla or 1-2 Tsps. of any other flavor you want for your
coating
2 Gals. or 8 Qts. of popped Pop Corn (in a large blue WalMart plastic
bag)
Put white bark into a 1 1/2 or 2 quart pyrex measuring cup and melt in
microwave for 60 seconds, stir, then melt again for 55 seconds, stir
till smooth and creamy. Add the margarine and stir with an ice tea
spoon till smooth and melted into the candy. Add vanilla and stir
well. Dump all of the sugars into the mix. Stir till it is mixed
well. Microwave for 20 seconds and stir till smooth.
Pour over the popcorn in the bag. Twist the top of the bag,
leaving about half of the air in the bag. Push up on the bag and on
the sides with your fist to mix the topping smoothly over all of the
popcorn. Hold the top of the bag closed so you do not lose
popcorn. This will take about 3-5 minutes to coat all of the
popcorn. You want to mix well. Continue to manipulate the popcorn
for a total of about 3-5 minutes, using both hands. Dump into a big
piece of aluminum foil, taped onto a big piece of cardboard. Foil
should be about 36 in. x 50 in. and crimped up on all 4 sides about 1 to
1 1/2 in. I use my fingers to move the popcorn till it is at an even
depth all over. If you do see any lumps as you spread out the corn,
break them up with your fingers then. Let it dry under a fan or in a
warm room. After it seems to be dry, mix it up to make sure all of
the corn on the bottom is dry. Let it dry for about another 30
minutes.
Put the dried, coated popcorn into large containers that you can seal
well, or in good plastic double ziplock bags. Enjoy
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
