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.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Lindt Truffle Chocolate Cupcakes

These cupcakes are beyond delicious!   Divine is how my sister Becky described them.  I served these at her Bridal Shower on Saturday and everybody loved them!  I honestly think they are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten .  I'm not the only one who had that opinion either :) These are a chocolate lovers dream.  Here's the rundown.  A Lindt Lindor truffle is baked in the center of a rich and very moist devils food cupcake.

Hawaiian Grilled Chicken

Since this chicken came into our lives, we have had it for many happy dinners.  I can't claim that every member of my family loves, or even likes, every meal I make, but this is an exception.  There are no complaints with this chicken.  So flavorful! I started out making this recipe with chicken breasts, but have since started making it with chicken thighs which are even more tender and juicy.  Either one works though.  You need to try this out before grilling season is over! I love to serve this with grilled pineapple and coconut rice (see note).  Such a perfect Summer meal!
