Happy National Popcorn Day!

popcornApparently, this is different than National Popcorn Poppin' Month, which was back in October. That month you had to pop the corn yourself. Today I guess you just have to eat it.

Popcorn.org has a bunch of recipes and popcorn facts, while Kraft has a recipe for Chocolate Popcorn Trail Mix. Simply Recipes tells you how to make what they call Perfect Popcorn. If you want to make popcorn in your microwave (but don't want to just throw in a bag of microwave popcorn), All Recipes shows you how. If you don't feel like making popcorn, you can read about the history of Jiffy Pop.

And don't forget the Honey Popcorn Balls Marissa told you a few months ago.

Happy National Popcorn Poppin' Month!

Jiffy PopOctober is National Popcorn Poppin' Month, the time of year we celebrate...um...the popping of popcorn.

But I wonder how many people actually pop their own corn at home nowadays. I think a lot of people have gotten used to microwaving a bag of popcorn at home for a snack or at the office. It's quick, it's already in a handy bag, etc. But one of my favorite memories of childhood is getting Jiffy Pop at the store and making it on the stove with mom or my sister. I wonder if kids today (and by kids I mean ones under 12) even know what Jiffy Pop is, even though it's stil sold.

So, your assignment today: if you want to pop some popcorn, go buy some Jiffy Pop. I'm curious to see if it's still as good as I remember.

Even more simple if you go to the supermarket and buy some Jiffy Pop and relive your childhood again. But if you want to make it from scratch, the full recipe is after the jump (and click here to see a video demonstration).
