Vintage popcorn macaroon recipe

Vintage Recipe Thursday is meant to preserve your own original vintage family recipes, or out-of-print, copyright-free recipes from old cookbooks, magazines, newspapers, and postcards. You're invited! Get the details by clicking to the Vintage Recipe Thursday Homepage. I post recipes from the Household Searchlight Recipe Book, first published in 1931. My 16th printing is from 1943. What will you post?

*******************

Popcorn makes me think of going to the movies, or having a group of friends over to watch a DVD.  With summer vacation close at hand, this little recipe can be a nice treat for those movie get togethers.  Your guests and your family will appreciate the special attention.

Have fun,

1 cup blanched almonds
