Dinner Tonight - Pancakes

For dinner tonight we are doing "breakfast for dinner". I am making pancakes with lots of different toppings. The kids (and adults!) can choose from, blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, strawberries, M&M's, whipped cream, syrup, butter, jam and marshmallows. I am also making eggs (so there is a little protein involved!). For dessert I made this fabulous popcorn. It tastes so gourmet and is really easy to make. Enjoy!


8 cups popped popcorn
1/2 cup lightly salted roasted peanuts
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbs butter
2 tbs corn syrup
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Spread popcorn and nuts evenly on sprayed cookie sheet. Bring sugar, butter, and corn syrup to a boil over medium heat. Let cook for 4 minutes without stirring. Turn off flame and add in baking soda. quickly toss with nuts and popcorn - being careful not to burn yourself with the caramel. Bake on 300 degree for 20 minutes, stirring twice through out. Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over popcorn. Let sit out and set for 3 - 4 hours then break up popcorn into smaller pcs.
