Vendor Profile: Wildflower Ridge Honey
 Wildflower Ridge Honey offers a complete line of sweet treats from the classic honey bear to homemade honey barbecue sauce. The ever-popular honey sticks come in an assortment of flavors and the convenient individual packaging make them a perfect for picnics. Don't stop there though; be sure to sample the delicious whipped honey (try mixing the cinnamon whipped honey with cream cheese and using to top bagels or toast).
Also at the booth, you will find honey-infused soaps, beeswax candles, and bee pollen, which is rich in the B vitamin complex and, carotenes, including vitamins C and E. Learn more about honey this week, and be sure to ask Dave for a sample.

 This tasty snack mix is a sure winner, whether you grab this for breakfast on-the-go or snack on it while cheering for your favorite local team. It makes a big batch, but don't worry. It won't last long.
Ingredients
1 cup honey
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 cups popped popcorn, unpopped kernels removed
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or hazelnuts
3/4 cup almonds

Whisk in cocoa, coffee, cinnamon, vanilla and salt until mixture is smooth. Mix popcorn and nuts in very large bowl. Drizzle honey mixture over popcorn; stir to coat evenly. Place parchment paper (or foil) on two large (about 17 x 11-inch) baking pans. Spread popcorn mixture in pans. Bake for 50 minutes, stirring about every 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. Store in tightly covered container. Makes 14 cups.
