The obscene popcorn recipe
This girl named Rhonda used to babysit me growing up. She lived a few doors down. I don’t remember Rhonda too much, except she had blonde hair, and taught me how to make the best at-home caramel popcorn ever. Knowing this is the last time I’ll ever be pregnant and figuring this is the last time I can eat whatever I want, I’ve been eating this a lot. If you love sweet-salty, THIS IS FOR YOU.
First step: Assemble margarine/butter and brown sugar — the best combination of food substances EVER.
Next: dump an obscene amount of margarine in a small saucepan over low heat. I’m talking, like, a quarter or more of a cup. It’s not called obscene for nothing. After it’s melted, dump an equally obscene amount of brown sugar (a little less than margarine) into said pot, and stir-stir-stir to get it all melted and mixed. (Hopefully your kitchen is like mine, and your stove faces a wall, so your significant other can’t see how much you’re dumping in the pot.)
While that’s happening, pop your corn. Air popped is best, in my opinion, because it’s fresher. Oh, and it’s better for you. You know, ’cause you should save some calories what with all the obsceneness going on above.
If you can time it right, start drizzling the margarine/brown sugar mix over the popcorn as it comes falling out the popper. This makes for maximum stickability, and keeps everything hot and fresh. Adding it after it’s a big deal, though. You may need some practice to get it perfect. The last six weeks of gestating have made me an expert.
Finally, lean over the bowl of obscene deliciousness and inhale. Don’t let your eyes roll too far back in your head, ’cause you’ll need to see the way to the couch where you’ll stuff your face in bliss.
Enjoy!

I’ll definately be making this on Friday when I’m watching movies. I also like air popped better with melted margarine poured over. I guess you can also add some salt after. Thanks.
This does sound very, very tasty! My favourite popcorn recipe however is making it on the stove with oil the old fashioned way, then drizzled with an obscene amount of butter and salt. My dad always made it this way growing up and it was the favourite snack in our house. I luckily inherited his skill and was able to replicate this yummy snack when I moved out. It was my favourite after-the-bar chow when I was in university. My roomies LOVED me for it! I rarely make this popcorn any more because it is just way to fattening and I can easily inhale an entire bucket of the stuff and because for some stupid reason I gave away the popcorn pot (not all pots produce the same results. I had this old hand-me down pot from my parents that worked the best).
We will definetely be trying this at the cottage this summer. At home too…. Maybe even at work for that matter! Enjoy your time at the cottage!
I made it and it was great. It brought back memories of family movie night and I think that my babysitter also made something like this. I made too much popcorn but put the extra in airtight containers and have some for snacking another time, not that it lasts too long.
