Hello there, gang. Thanks for hanging in there with me during this Week Of Frilly Fancy Shower Type Recipes And Ideas. 🙂

Next week I’ll be back to my usual posting of What In The World Can I Make To Feed My Ever Hungry Family. Because I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but breakfast lunch and dinner roll around every single day weather we like it or not, right? I’ve been cooking up a storm this week and am excited to show you the things I’ve been working on.

Also, I wanted to let you know that the good ladies at Gooseberry Patch are featuring me on their site today. An honor, truly. If you are up for reading a bit more about me and my family, click on over and take a look. 

I am also guest posting today at Or So She Says, if you’d like to pay them a visit.

And finally (before we get to the parchment cones, for goodness sake!) I have a fun little giveaway for you all today.  My Memories is giving a free copy of their digital scrapbooking software to one of you. If you enjoy playing around with graphic design or love digital scrapbooking this is the program you have been looking for! I made the little graphics pictured in the photo with My Memories software. It’s a lot of fun to play with, I’m excited to have my own copy. Besides offering basic software, My Memories also has a lot of cute Digital Scrapbooking Kits in all sort of themes, that are very affordable. 


To enter the giveaway just leave me a comment at the bottom of this post telling me your favorite kind of popcorn. Cheddar, Crunchy Caramel Corn, Cinnamon Bear Popcorn, White Chocolate Popcorn, Pretty Purple Popcorn, I Hate Popcorn…what ever your preference may be, let me know about it. Please leave me your email address with your comment. You can enter to win until Thursday March 22nd. Winner will be announced on Friday March 23rd. 

ALRIGHT! Let’s talk Parchment Paper Cones. Sound good?

These fun little cones are perfect way to fancy up a party and work well for holding all kinds of yummy things. I filled mine with Crunchy Caramel Popcorn and White Chocolate Popcorn. (As a little side note: I used Violet Candy Wafers, instead of the called for white chocolate chips in the White Chocolate Popcorn recipe.) 

Let’s make some cones, shall we?

Parchment Paper Cones
You will need:
Parchment Paper 
Ruler
Scissors
Hot Glue Gun
Stapler
Cute Graphics or Stickers
  
1. Grab yourself some parchment paper. I got mine at Walmart, but you can buy it at most grocery stores and anywhere that Wilton products are sold.


2. Cut the parchment paper into 10×10 squares.


3. Starting at the bottom left corner, fold the edge up about 2-3 inches and make a soft crease along the fold.


Fold it again, so that the tip of the first fold is even with the upper left corner.



Fold it again, so that there are about 1 1/2 inches of paper remaining along the right hand side. Notice that the top point (at the left of the picture) has an even amount of paper of either side.


4. Put some hot glue down the entire side of the remaining edge of parchment.


and fold it over so that the glue sticks to the pack of the cone, and press it down with your fingers. 


5.  Slide a stapler into the top of the cone and put one staple into the back. (The part you just hot glued) This is just a precautionary measure. Some of the cones I fastened with only glue, ended up coming apart and people had popcorn falling on their laps. That’s kind of embarrassing , isn’t it.


6. For a cute embellishment, staple or glue a little graphic onto the front. Stickers would also be fun. 
7. Fill the cones with goodies of your choice and place the cones in a pretty basket.

I love cheddar popcorn from gourmet popcorn shops, and I wish I could replicate it in my kitchen. But I also love caramel popcorn, and I use the same recipe I've used since high school. But I also like plain popcorn with a little melted butter – REAL butter. OK, it's obvious that I like popcorn – no matter what!

I love carmel popcorn. I make it during Christmas and during the summer to take camping. I also really love kettle corn and we make that a lot more often because it's faster for movie night!! [email protected]

Let's hear it for some ooey, gooey caramel corn. I rarely make this because I cannot stop eating it.

Personally I love caramel popcorn, but I am equally as swayed by that greasy, nasty, salty movie theater popcorn. There's just something about it that makes me go MMMMMM and my hips go MMMMMM, cause that's where it all ends up, on my lumpy bumpy hips! [email protected]

I love reading your blog! My favorite popcorn is, in actuality, ANY popcorn (but some microwave stuff gives me a headache). Chocolate drizzled carmelcorn sounds good for breakfast. 🙂

Thank you Jamie! bargainhunter267 @ yahoo.com

I love the zebra popcorn you can buy at Sams club. I love popcorn all around but the hubby doesn't. Don't you worry…I've trained my two boys to be fans and they love it with butter, salt and m&m's mixed in:)

I'm a popcorn freak. It is my most favorite snack. I pop my up some when all the kids are in bed and it is just me and the TV. I think my most favorite kind is carmel popcorn(not baked).

I love buttered and salted popcorn with plain M & M's thrown into the bowl. The heat softens the m & m's and the choc with the salt and butter is FABULOUS!!!

My favorite is Caramel Corn that my mother “USE TO” make at Christmas time. I continue to tell her she needs to practice but it's been several years since I've enjoyed a handful. Your fan! [email protected]

Definitely caramel corn – with some nuts thrown in! 🙂 2nd place would definitely be the movie theater stuff – with extra butter. I try to stay away from both ~ NOT a good thing for my closet!

I love popcorn. I think I have a few favorites. Love the soft caramel corn, old school movie theater popcorn you used to be able to buy in the boxes, and the harder carmel corn with chocolate drizzled on it and cashews or almonds. Yummy.
