I have a confession to make, I don’t recognize coffee cake or cinnamon rolls as breakfast. I know, the horror. How dare I speak ill of meal-time-sanctioned pastries? I swear to you, I am not a joy bandit. But I really can’t help but feel that sugar is no substitute for a meal. And no, I’m not about to launch into a rant about the dubious nutrition of our modern eating habits. Eat the coffee cake, eat the cinnamon roll, have two by all means. But just don’t call them “breakfast”. They’re not and neither are these Cinnamon Brioche Twists.
When I started thinking about today’s Vietnamese Coffee Caramel Corn I had no idea it would be so easy to make. Too easy! This corn is so simple, it’s dangerous. Today’s recipe is one of those recipes I wish I could unlearn because I have zero self-control in the face of this corn. I’ve always been a bit of a popcorn fiend but this corn really kicked it up a notch. Oh, and the recipe makes a ton, so you can happily eat your way through a ginormous bag of it until your dentist disowns you…Or you can give it away as gifts. Actually, I’m going to say you *should* give some of it away as gifts. You will immediately regret it but you will be doing yourself a kindness.
