Things don't always work out.

So, I tried a Bacon Popcorn recipe of Christopher J. Ciesiel (found here) and it turned out well, though he is probably right to suggest that I should of added more bacon fat. All bacon lovers should give this recipe a try as it is fun to watch the kernels pop and it is tasty. (The picture to the left is Ciesiel's and the one below is NOT his recipe).

I liked his recipe so much that I tried to make a caramel/kettle corn version of this without the bacon fat (just butter) and brown sugar. If you take a gander below, you can see that things did not work out. I have not given up on expanding flavored popcorn beyond this recipe, but I remain defeated thus far. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of my success in following his recipe, I only have one of my defeat. That said, if you take a walk over to his blog (link posted above), he has detailed pictures and explanation on how to make a good bacon flavored popcorn.
