Mine consisted of banana pudding, Nilla wafers and Cool Whip... layered. Twice.

I am literally drooling at this.

Also made curried chickpeas and rice for supper, and at 10:30 I'm going downstairs to finish mixing up another batch of Icelandic dark rye bread -- the stuff that takes 8 hours to bake in a super-slow oven. If I play my cards right, it'll be ready to take out of the oven just as I'm coming downstairs in the morning to have breakfast.
- Preheat oven to 250°.
- Pour 1 bag hull-less popcorn twists (I used Old Dutch) into a deep roasting pan.
- In a reasonably deep pot on the stovetop, make a caramel consisting of 1 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar and half a cup of corn syrup, cooked for 2 minutes and then made into foam by adding a teaspoon of baking soda. Continue cooking and stirring till the foam starts to cook down (just a minute or two).
- Pour over the popcorn twists and toss around to coat, then bake for 45 minutes. About every 15 minutes, take it out of the oven and mix a bit more.
- Dump the whole mass out onto a large sheet of parchment paper to cool till it turns crispy, then bust it apart into smaller pieces and put into the container of your choice.
