Directions: |
Directions:Claim a microwave and post-up! Pre-Plan time (it is better eaten warm from the fresh batch). Peel all 15 pads of Margarine. Unwrap all 40 caramels (Take a couple and roll them in your hands). Mix in a bowl and microwave, stopping and mixing every time it starts to foam up. (This takes constant observation and swift action). Complete until all is melted and fluid. Pop 2 bags of popcorn while a friend keeps the caramel mixed. Prepare 2 garbage bags, one inside the other. (There can be occasional blow outs.) Pour popcorn into a bowl and sift out the un-popped kernels. Then place popped corn into the bags. Re-warm caramel for an instant. If you wait too long the caramel will become stiff, then add more butter or milk. While one holds he bag open, the other pours in the caramel as quick as possible. The shaker needs to have gloves on and will then 'fluff' the bag so there is an air-pocket (important step). Twist the top to seal in the air like a balloon, then vigorously shake. After 5 seconds, open bag and quickly dump in the Reese's Pieces, then 'fluff', close and re-shake until everything is well distributed. Open and dive into the results. Best with a cold Mountain Dew if you can handle the sugar rush. |

Notes: Jim has a great sense of humor and I really enjoyed writing him back and forth, as the 'editor' of the cookbook, about his contribution.
Mrs. Fuller
(Editor in Chef),
I am welcomed by the acceptance of my formal application to be a vetted participant in your well acclaimed Cookbook. The 'pats of margarine' might be hard to come by in your part of the world... they are of an institutional variety that comes, as we say, in a restricted metal dispenser fashion with a limited pull of one 'pat' in the most hard to acquire and transport places in this nation. They are so wonderful they are rationed out with the utmost care and of lately have become quite difficult to acquire and trade in. The trash bags are of commercial quality, which in this sense means the cheapest of value and the most faulty of construction in regards to their intended use.
It may take a few tries to get the recipe right. I'll inform you further if any inquiries arise,
Monsieur Gregg.
