Gluten free snacks don't have to taste like cardboard, or be boring. I have had the idea for this rolling around in my head for a couple of days, so today was the day to give it a shot. Crispy popcorn and meaty pieces of bacon, coated with a buttery maple-y vanilla scented caramel, then sprinkled with sea salt. The popcorn is popped in the bacon fat, so that adds another layer of flavor. Of course I used the Earth Fare thick cut apple wood smoked bacon; it's the best tasting bacon I've ever had from a store and it has the perfect fat to meat ratio. The rest of the players are not slouches either - organic white popcorn kernels, real maple syrup (grade B for the best flavor), unsalted Irish butter, coconut palm sugar, Madagascar vanilla extract, and Himalayan sea salt. Sorry kids, can't give the recipe. This combination is pure magic and there may be a future in it! I will keep you posted on my progress.
(By the way, The Man seems to dig it. He has single handedly consumed almost all of the first batch. Better than The Good Housekeeping seal of approval if you ask me <3)
