I couldn't decide if I wanted sweet or savory...
So I did BOTH! My day started substantially earlier than usual, and since even after a full shift it was STILL REALLY EARLY according to my body clock, I had the munchies. Nothing too complicated, nothing that would use the ingredients for the “good stuff” planned for my day off...

Instinct took over as I eyed my pantry. Into a small measuring cup went a heaping teaspoon of granulated sugar, a big dash of cinnamon (maybe a half teaspoon), and – wait for it – cayenne pepper!

I'll leave it up to you just how much red pepper to add wink I admit that this might sound odd at first, but have you ever had those spicy little candy hearts? Or better yet, those “atomic fireballs”? Maybe I'm showing my age with those examples, but cinnamon and “heat” go really well together. Popped some corn in the microwave, a light squirt of butter flavored non-stick spray to keep all that flavor from sinking to the bottom of the bowl, a gentle toss, just a hint more salt....

Sweet, salty, spicy, crunchy – yeah, I've got a new go-to snack. Give it a try!
