Caramel Popcorn
It's easy enough to make popcorn on your stovetop, but Instagram user @bombaysfoodie shows it's just as easy to make far more delicious caramel popcorn on her YouTube channel.
And last but not least, the Dalgona!
If there is a "breakaway hit" from the coronavirus self-quarantine, it is the "dalgona." The frothy sweet whipped beverage treat is made with instant coffee, sugar, and a dairy product of your choice. But, not everyone loves caffeine or dairy, so here is a chocolate version made with coconut milk!
