LIGHT CARAMEL CORN
I'm a diabetic. (Trivia fact: Diabetics have no dietary restrictions.) My nutritionist gave me this great recipe for caramel corn out of a diabetic cookbook. It's light, filling, and makes a great snack. It's a hit with the kids and many of my friends. The popcorn can be fresh popped or out of a microwave. I'm not sure exactly how much popped popcorn is in a microwavable bag, but I usually use a full bag.

Steps:
- Pop the popcorn and put it into a bowl. Make sure there is some extra room in the bowl if possibble. You'll need that room when you toss the popcorn.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, microwave together the butter and honey, only until melted. Over heat it, and it WILL burn (trust me, I've done it.).
- Using a regular spoon, drizzle 2 spoonfuls of the butter/honey mixture over the popcorn and toss thoroughly. THIS IS CRUCIAL. Put any more on at once and it won't turn out right.
- Repeat step three. Most of the mixture will be gone before it seems like you're getting anywhere with this. Be patient, and when the honey/butter is all gone, enjoy:).
