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!

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. 

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
