Peppermint Bark Popcorn

It’s no secret- I love chocolate and peppermint, and when they are added to popcorn it is scrumptious! Each piece of popcorn gets coated with white chocolate mixed with crushed candy canes, drizzled with milk chocolate, and sprinkled with even more peppermint pieces. Absolutely addicting! This makes the perfect snack for munching on while watching a Christmas movie or driving around to see that lights. It comes together really quickly too so it’s perfect for those busy days when you don’t have time to make cookies but still want a yummy treat.

Peppermint Bark Popcorn

8 cups plain or lightly salted popcorn

6 oz Ghirardelli white melting chocolate

1/2 box (about 1/2 cup) crushed candy canes

1/3 cup milk chocolate chips

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, foil, or a silicone mat. Measure our popcorn and dump into a large bowl. Melt white chocolate in microwave then stir in crushed candy canes. If desired, set aside a few TBSP to sprinkle over popcorn at the end. Pour over popcorn and stir gently to coat. Scoop popcorn out onto sheet pan and spread into a somewhat even layer.

In a ziplock bag, melt the chocolate chips for 1 minute in the microwave. Massage chocolate through the bag until no lumps remain. Cut a small corner off the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn.

Let popcorn sit until chocolate is hardened. If you’re in a rush try popping it in the fridge or freezer.

Enjoy!

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.

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!
