What are you going to be doing this weekend? Are you dressing up all crazy, taking a little or two door to door for bite sized pieces of candy, or are you maybe giving out candy? Are you going to some spectacular Halloween party, or are you thinking more tricks then treats and are planning on TP-ing the neighbors or creating some mischief around town.%u00a0
Whatever you are doing, it’s sounds like it’s going to be a blast. Just note,%u00a0if you are being mischievous %u00a0don’t be an asshole about it. Stealing candy from kids is wrong,(steal your candy from adults) and TP is cool but spray paint and things that are permanent are not. And stay away from my houses!%u00a0
Anyway, the Halloween situation %u00a0is always the same with me and the mr. We say that we need to do something fun and different every year. Maybe a party, or even just some human intreat ion. But just like every year, we give in to our inner hermits. Our Halloween night will be as followed: Lock ourselves in the house, drawing the shades,(note that we would totally give out candy, but our door is down a very narrow and dark driveway, behind a fence, and pretty much inaccessible to people) watch a movie %u00a0(thinking Donnie Darko or maybe even old reruns of Halloween Rosanne.)%u00a0eat popcorn,and go to sleep at a very reasonable hour. %u00a0And now that I say it out loud, our evening sounds like the most perfect way to spend the night. Especially because of the popcorn.
Let’s just stop and think about this popcorn a minute%u2026%u2026…
Ok, so do you get it now?. This is an epic popcorn combo.%u00a0Mustard is for everything. A slightly sweet honey mustard all drizzled on %u00a0popcorn, well that’s just craziness. And if you are like the mr., the pretzel crumble just takes it over the top. If we had made plans, I would probably have to cancel just so I can stay in an eat this popcorn.
And I have a hunch that this flavor combination will pair very well with a handful or two of some halloween candies.%u00a0
POPCORN TIME!!!!!
The stuff. A big ass bowl of air popped popcorn. %u00a0Spicy brown mustard (can use any mustard) honey (can use maple) a little olive oil and a few pretzel sticks. (can use any pretzel shape you like)
Bag the pretzels, grap something heavy (rolling pin works great) and smash the pretzels into tiny little bits.
In a little pot ) mix mustard, oil and honey together. Place on medium %u00a0heat and mix continuously until the mixture is hot and a nice liquid pourable consistency.%u00a0
Now you can do this any way you want, but my way is probably the best. Dividie popcorn in two bowls and drizzle each bowl with equal amounts of mustard sauce.
Flip one of the bowls ontop of the other and shake the crap oiut of it.(or until the popcorn is evenly coated)
And the popcorn is all nice and evenly coasted.%u00a0Now dump in the crushed pretzel and repeat the double bowl shake.

Now don’t you want to turn the lights off and snuggle on the couch with this bowl?
Share if you want, but hey, it’s just popcorn so you can taotally eat it all yourself.%u00a0
Happy Friday.. And Happy Halloween

In a small sauce pot, combine the mustard, honey, oil, and mix to combine. Stick pot on stove and heat on medium until sauce is hot and liquidy. (can get the same result by using a microwave safe bowl and sticking it in a microwave at 20 second intervals until %u00a0hot)
Evenly distribute popcorn into two big bowls. Take the warmed up sauce and drizzle all over popcorn in %u00a0each bowl the, for the fun part,%u00a0flip one bowl onto the other and shake the popcorn all around to evenly coat.
