Life never slows down does it?
It seems that the harder I work to clean the house, the dirtier it gets. Is it just me? On the one week that I commit to keeping an area clean our getting that one thing done, it gets undone as soon as I do it. It doesn’t help the weeks that I babysit a lot and always have a few extra kids running around making their messes.

I honestly thing kitchen floor only gets dirty after I mop it. If I don’t ever mop I think it stays a lot cleaner. I keep at it though, because having a clean house it nice, I guess even when it is only clean for 5 minutes.
5 minutes isn’t very long, but a lot can happen in those 5 minutes. Like this popcorn.
Full of the sweet fall flavors of molasses and cinnamon it is sweet, sticky, chewy, and crunchy. Only a few ingredients, a microwave, a bowl, and in five minutes you could be eating this.

Author: Brianna
Serves: 3-4 cups
Ingredients
- 3-4 c. POPPED popcorn
- 1 c. mini marshmallows
- ¼ c. sugar
- 2-3 Tbs. molasses
- 2 Tbs. butter
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients, EXCEPT the popcorn into a microwave bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir and then microwave for an additional 30 seconds- 1½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the sugar is entirely dissolved and the mixture has began to bubble.
- Add the popcorn and stir to coat.
Notes:
- The longer you microwave the popcorn the less sticky it will be after it cools. For stickier popcorn only microwave 1 1/2 minutes.
- I made this several times and varied the amounts of sugar, butter, and molasses. This is just a guide. Add more molasses for a stronger molasses flavor, increase the sugar to 1/2 c. and the butter to 1//4 c. to make enough to coat a full bag of microwave popcorn.
