    Title: Dirty Dave's Chilli Popcorn
    Categories: Five, Snacks
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1/4 c Chilli oil/grease *
    1 c Unpopped popcorn
    Salt

    * The orange oil you spoon off of your chilli that is
    excess to the needs of a good bowl of red. Save it in
    the icebox until needed. When it has cooled/ set up it's
    "grease". Bv)=

    Melt the chilli oil in the popping vessel. **

    When the grease is hot enough (350ºF/175ºC or more) add
    the unpopped kernels of popcorn. Shake pan occasionally
    to prevent sticking and burning.

    When popping has stopped pour into a bowl or paper bag,
    add salt to taste and enjoy!

    ** NOTE: air poppers will not work for this. A 'Stir-
    Crazy' popper works well - and you don't have to shake
    the pan.

    Have plenty of napkins handy. That orange chilli-flavored
    popcorn will stain your shirt or pants if you wipe your
    fingers on them.

    If you made HOT chilli - you will have very spicy popcorn.
    If you made a milder batch of chilli you will have nicely
    chilli-flavoured popcorn with a moderate bite.

    Title: Spicy Caramel Bacon Popcorn
    Categories: Grains, Pork, Snacks, Chilies
    Yield: 3 Servings

    2 tb Bacon dripping
    2 ts Salt
    1/2 c Popcorn; unpoped
    3 c Sugar
    3 tb Butter
    1/2 c Water
    1/2 ts Cayenne or chipotle powder;
    - pick your heat
    1 ts Baking soda
    1 c Crisp cooked bacon pieces

    In a large pan with a lid heat the oil and the salt, add
    the popcorn, cover and shake until it pops remove from
    heat, remove lid. (Or use your Stir Crazy popper - UDD)

    Butter a large mixing bowl and pour the popcorn into it.

    While you're at it butter 3 baking sheets and 2
    spatulas, as well.

    Set the popcorn aside.

    Make caramel by combining sugar, butter and water in a
    large pan. you will need a pan big enough to contain the
    foaming of the caramel after you add the baking soda,
    choose accordingly.

    Place the pan over med/high heat and cook without
    stirring for 10 minutes until light golden brown.

    Meanwhile combine the baking soda and the ground
    chilies. Set aside.

    Attempt NOT to eat all the bacon pieces just waiting to
    be dipped in caramel.

    When the caramel is golden brown remove from the heat
    and add the baking soda/chile mixture, it will foam and
    bubble but just stir away.

    Pour it over the bowl of popcorn and sprinkle on the
    crispy bacon pieces.

    Use the buttered spatulas to toss and coat the popcorn.

    Taste before the caramel gets hard to see if it needs
    more salt. It will be like molten lava so blow on a
    small piece to cool it

    Add salt as needed, stirring to mix in.

    Pour into the buttered pans, breaking up as needed.

    Cool completely and then use within 24 hours. (As if! -
    UDD)

    Store in the fridge if any is left.

    NOTE TO SELF: Look into adding chocolate to this dandy.
