Wrapper Prom Dress

I think this would be a REALLY FUN CHALLENGE...wouldn't it? A woman in Wisconsin spent 6 years making a prom dress for her daughter out of "Starburst" wrappers.

I'm thinking it would be a lot quicker to use the foil from a Hershey's candy bar...chocolate with almonds...and -- hey -- WHAT IF I BOUGHT THE GIANT BARS???

Fun! Remember saving gum wrappers as kids to make braided bracelets and stuff....it was really big out here anyways when I was a kid.

King Arthur Popover Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees... then preheat the Popover Pan...it needs to be screaming hot. Butter the sides generously -- right before you pour the batter.

4 eggs
1 1/3 c. milk
1 1/3 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbl melted butter

Whisk eggs into milk. Make sure everything is room temp. Whisk in the flour & salt, add the melted butter at the end.

Pour thin batter into Popover pan (2/3 full) and bake for 30 minutes. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR.

When the popovers are done -- get them out of the pan ASAP and prick the top with a sharp knife to prevent collapse.

Serve with REAL BUTTER...that's mandatory. Homemade jam is optional...
