    I think you are one talented lady and I love the way you say Boil. Did u ever watch Mandy in the Making on here? She says it the same way. If you want your parchment to stay put wipe the pan with a damp cloth and then lay it down. It works for me anyhow.

    Okay, I normally don't like just plain popcorn (bought and ate a bag once in elementary school and vomited when I got home; not fun), but cheddar and caramel are AMAZING. I always grab caramel popcorn every time I take a bite of normal popcorn to balance them both out, but cheddar sounds so much better than plain! Have a blessed Christmas week!

    I love listening to you during work. It makes my day so much fun!. I like the binder clips idea but I found they don't hold as well if your parchment paper doesn't go up the edges. I bought some plain little magnets instead and they are definitely a life saver. Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope you get your big bowls under the tree.

    Hi Tammy, love your vid’s! Try dabbing some butter in each corner of your sheet tray prior to placing parchment paper on the tray. It will help prevent the paper from slipping and sliding! Also, can use cooking spray instead of butter. 🤣

    I do stuff like this in the biggest kettle I can manage because I can put the top on and shake it to coat things. Plus it makes it so much easier to stir up and I don't end up having to pick things off the floor /counter. I usually do it in the sink. not pretty but way easier to control.

    Since you are adding melted butter, something else that may be delicious to put in with your cheddar popcorn, if you have some leftover Bacon grease, warm that up so that it is liquified like melted butter and use that instead of butter. Bacon cheddar popcorn sounds delicious! 😊 Merry Christmas everybody!🎄✝️🙏🏻

    Instead of a bigger bowl, use paper bags from the grocery store. Put popsorn in, pour over butter and cheese, fold down a couple of times, and shake.
    We have an old pot that was my grandmother's we use and it's the best. Also, when you are using Karo syrup and butter, rub some butter l in measuring spoon.
