Coyote or Reindeer "Droppings" 2-cups brown sugar 1-cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup white corn syrup 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 14-1/2 ounce package Cheetos **buy ONE 11 oz size of CHEESE PUFFS, NOT cheetos Both Cheetos and cheese puff are great. Two different textures Bring the sugar, butter or margarine and syrup to a boil for 5 minutes. Stir often Remove from fire. Add baking soda. Stir. Pour over cheetos, and toss QUICKLY . ***i USED TWO 9 X 10, ALUMINUM PANS Bake at 250 degrees F. for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Pour out on waxed paper rubbed with additional butter or cooking spray. Quickly separate the Caramelized Cheetos ****I used the bottoms of TWO broiler pans that I sprayed, put gloves on, and quickly separated, so you won't end up with big globs.

I have an old popper and can't even tell you the name of it offhand. It looks like a small hotplate with an aluminum bowl fastened to it and a heavy glass lid. I've seen some with aluminum lids but I like the glass to see what's going on. A little oil, some popcorn and it's done rather quickly. But in the later years with health issues and stuff I've gone to the microwave and yes the packages. I like Pop Weavers. Best tasting and cheaper to boot. I do miss the old popper so I'll probably get it out one of these days. I also like a bag of Old Dutch White Cheddar popcorn. But can't handle a whole bag. My sister has (or had) a Stir-Crazy and it worked about as well as my popper. You flip it over and use the lid for a serving bowl. As I recall you can add butter to the top and it'd melt it. Never liked air-popped. Salt won't stick to it.
