Some readers have asked for this recipe since I “teased” about it in a recent e-mail, so here it is. My great-grandmother, Rebecca Jane Poorman, clipped it out of a newspaper many decades ago. No one is sure when, but it’s now in its 5th generation in our family. Growing up, it was our absolute favorite snack for family movie night (which was a treat in itself, since we didn’t watch much TV). It is not crunchy like caramel popcorn, but you eat it warm, sticky and gooey. My dad used to make a big bowl of it, then dole it out into smaller bowls for each person. Enjoy!
