Patriotic Popcorn Snack



     With the air so humid it was hard to breath and the temperature hovering in the mid-nineties all day, our Fourth of July did not boast a lot of outdoor time. In fact it consisted of only a brief dog walk at sunrise, watering  the potted plants and a quick dip in the pool. Later, after sunset, we set up chairs and a cooler in the front yard, along with the neighbors, to enjoy our city's annual fireworks display. To make the day special, I had put together a festive snack to nibble on during the show but because of the heat, we kept the treat inside so the air-conditioning would keep it from melting. We ate only a handful afterward so there is plenty left for a movie tonight.
     Popped corn was mixed with a butter/marshmallow coating (similar to Rice Krispie treats) and little marshmallows, M&Ms and sprinkles were added, making a pretty red, white and blue combo that was quite tasty too. And the fireworks were awesome, as usual - love hometown holidays!
