thank you Dana, this is a classic stoner confection.

when the chocolate hardens, does it make the stuff stick together in clumps?

i just returned to the 420 cookbook, to share my recent popcorn recipe/obsession, and here there's already a thread ready to go! i've eaten popcorn for dinner a number of times, since i figured this one out:

Homemade Spicy Kettle Corn

gather and organize your tools and ingredients before-hand. preparation is quick, and you have to stay on top of your game to avoid burnt stuff.

-soup pot, with a (preferably glass) lid
-canola oil or bacon grease, about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons
-about 2 tablespoons of white sugar, or as much as you can grab with 1 fist
-as much popcorn as you can grab with 2 fists, or maybe 4 tablespoons?
-salt shaker (with salt in it, duh)
-cayenne pepper, to taste
-big bowl

--heat the burner to medium high. on my stove, that's about a 6.
--get your pot nice and hot, then add the oil or grease.
--add the handful of sugar, and swish it around so it all gets coated and starts to melt.
--put 3 kernels of popcorn in the pot, and wait for them to pop. (don't stare at them too closely though - you might get hot popcorn in your eye, then forget about the pot on the stove as you're trying to give yourself an eye bath, and then the grease catches on fire and it sets off your smoke detector, then your neighbors come to see what's wrong, and they see your bong sitting out on the coffee table and you with red eyes and a kitchen on fire, and they vow to never allow you to see their daughter again, and you all end up on jerry springer punching and swearing at each other.)
--on second thought, maybe you should be wearing safety goggles.
--once the 3rd kernel has popped, immediately add 2 handfuls of popcorn, close the lid, and start swishing the pot back and forth, around and around.
--don't stop! keep the kernels and the sugar moving, back and forth, around and around, but keep the pot in contact with the burner, so it doesn't cool-down.
--listen to the popping sounds. once the popping slows-down to about 2 seconds between pops, remove from heat.
--in one graceful motion, remove the lid and sprinkle salt over the popcorn as you pour it into the serving bowl, without spilling popcorn all over the place.
--sprinkle half of the cayenne over the popcorn, floof it with your hands, then sprinkle the other half and floof again.
--wash your hands thoroughly to avoid getting cayenne in your eyes. or just continue to wear the goggles.

just try to stop eating this stuff - it's impossible! your dentist is going to have a field day trying to get all this popcorn out of your gums, but you don't care, because it's sooooo goooooood!

My prescription is as follows:

A large bag of this, a beverage, the remote to the tv or radio, large couch. Let the games begin!
