In The Water Cooler:

Ben gives a snack hack
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Put popcorn in huge bowl (or divide into two bowls). In medium saucepan, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, syrup, and salt. Stir constantly while bringing to a boil. Then boil without stirring for 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and vanilla. Pour caramel evenly over popcorn, stirring to coat. Cover 2 large shallow baking sheets with parchment paper. Place popcorn on pans and bake for ~1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove and let cool for ~10 minutes. Mix in candy bars, and drizzle popcorn with melted chocolate. (Add a tsp. of shortening to chips and then microwave 15 seconds at a time until melted.) Let popcorn sit until chocolate hardens ~30 minutes. Store at room temperature in airtight container.
In The Mailbag: Jacob C asks "What movie would you like to see turned into a television show?"
Peter's pick: Die Hard, Sliding Doors, The Burbs
Ben's picks: The Rocketeer, Inception, Sin City
Brad's picks: What We Do in the Shadows, Harry Potter, Men In Black
