Avalanche Popcorn

I wanted to make a fun treat for family movie night and this was perfect! Sweet, salty, crunchy, and chocolatey.  I couldn't stop eating this.  It was so good!  
















Avalanche Popcorn
slightly modified from Party Popcorn

8 cups salted popped popcorn
1 cup white chocolate chips ( I prefer Guittard)
3 Tablespoons peanut butter
½ cup rice krispie cereal
½ cup salted peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips 
1/2 TBSP shortening

INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl, place the popped popcorn, removing any unpopped kernels.
Set aside..
In a medium, microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate and peanut butter in 30 second increments, stirring between each increment until chocolate is smooth and melted.
Pour the white chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the top of popcorn, but do not stir yet. Add rice krispie cereal and peanuts and gently toss or stir to coat.
Pour the popcorn mixture on a large piece of parchment paper and gently spread to a single layer.
Place the chocolate chips and shortening in a bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each increment until smooth and melted. Drizzle the chocolate over the top of popcorn.
Allow to cool until chocolate has hardened. Break into pieces before packaging or transferring to a bowl to serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.
