I brought the batch I made with blackstrap molasses to my workplace and left it in the breakroom. By the end of the day, all the popcorn was all consumed. Did not go to waste. I have to say that each kernel of popcorn is nice and crispy which is great. I will give this a second try today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-49129348493681875712010-12-15T00:27:20.316-05:002010-12-15T00:27:20.316-05:00I always buy Brer Rabbit brand molasses - the one ...I always buy Brer Rabbit brand molasses - the one labeled "Mild Molasses Flavor". I've heard too many tales of bad molasses experiences, so I stick with the tried and true!<br />Anyhow, I made three batches over the weekend and was definitely challenged by how quickly it sets up. Next time I may use a little less popcorn, but it worked out fine because I gave it a good stirring with a wooden spoon, and as soon as it had cooled down enough, I dug in with my (newly washed) hands and just mixed it that way. No better tool! :)limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900007779042464131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-68580472057624520252010-12-14T11:01:29.397-05:002010-12-14T11:01:29.397-05:00Thanks Joe!

I didn't know it was blackstrap because the bottle is not labeled blackstrap. I found out it is blackstrap because it provides excellent source of potassium, calcium, magnesium and other minerals that only blackstrap provides. I just openend this jar and only used it with my sweet potatoes which did tasted good. I'll give the popcorn another try with Grandma's brand molasses from supermarket. But in the future, can you be more specific with your ingredients for ameateur bakers as myself? Would be helpful to include brand names if you favor a certain brand.
