Cousin's Cinnamon Bear Popcorn

This is the YUMMIEST popcorn I have ever had- hands down! I love the sweet with the cinnamon bears and popcorn...oh my! I first tried this at work when we were having a farewell potluck for one of our co-workers that many called cousin before she moved across the country. I drool every time someone brings this into work and I have been begging to get my hands on the recipe and I finally got it this week. (Thanks Missy)

6 quarts popped popcorn
3 c. mini marshmallows
2 c. cut up cinnamon bears
1 1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c karo syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1 c. butter (2 cubes)

Bring butter, sugar and karo to boil over medium heat.
Turn heat to low and stir for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat- stir in vanilla, marshmallows and cinnamon bears.
Pour over popcorn and stir well

Cowboy Cookies

My friend Kristin told me about these cookies she made that had oatmeal in them but you would never know it one night when we were at work. I knew I had to try them because I love oatmeal cookies but my mister isn't such a big fan and if I can sneak some heart healthy oatmeal past him in cookie form I'm happy. I just happened to be at Kristin's a few days later and got to try these yummy treat and she was right I had no idea there was oatmeal in them- PERFECT!

2 c. flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
Mix together and set aside.

Mix together-
