White Chocolate Popcorn


Of course, trying to portray the deliciousness of white chocolate on white popcorn in a white box is nearly impossible, but this simple to make treat is simply delicious!  

I was first introduced to this sweet and salty ambrosia by my friend, Anne, who brought a giant bowl of it to a school Valentine's Party a few years ago.  Guess what?  It all disappeared.  Consider this your fair warning.  Whatever you make will be consumed!  It's that addicting!

I knew this would be the perfect treat for movie night on our FOURTH snow day!

White Chocolate Popcorn
Recipe Courtesy of Anne Pryor

2 Bags Orville Redenbacher's Tender White Microwave Popcorn, Popped
8-oz high quality white chocolate, melted

Note:  According to Anne, best results are obtained by using Orville Redenbacher's Tender White microwave popcorn.  Because my new, fancy convection/microwave oven does everything but pop popcorn, I resorted to the old-fashioned stove top method and also achieved great results.  

Pop two bags of popcorn or fill your biggest bowl with stove topped popcorn.  Melt one package of high quality white chocolate chips.  Drizzle on top of the popcorn and mix to combine.  Spread the popcorn  on parchment paper to dry.  

Eat, serve, or fill some cellophane bags for a delicious gift!

Hi Rachel!
We stuck your blog in our RSS feed and have enjoyed hearing updates on your family. What a special snow week for you all!!

Just had to comment on this one. I tried a recipe from another blog that added finely crushed candy canes (to get rid of all those extras after Christmas) after drizzling the white choc. Ooh. It was good. Ate waay too much. Might be a good Valentine's treat, too.

Take care,
Jenny

Butter Bean Soup

Happy New Year!  We are off to a cold start! It's so cold that the Governor cancelled school for the entire state! That never happens. Up here in Minnesota, when it gets cold, we just pull up our snow pants and pull down our hats.  In the South, they say it's not the heat, it's the humidity.  Up North, we say it's not the cold, it's the wind.  Windchill temperatures (what it actually feels like), are said to be -40 to -50 degrees Fahrenheit. That's the coldest it's been since 1996 - just shortly before we moved to Atlanta.  Hmmmm…… it's all coming back to me now.  Nevertheless, my 16-year old says it's a great way to start second semester! When it's cold outside, there is nothing I love more than making soup. Soup is the perfect excuse to stand over a hot stove on a cold day. You can hold soup in a coffee mug and let it warm your hands. You can sip soup in the same mug and let it warm you from the inside out. There's a reason for

Dr. Seuss Snacks!

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.  I admit it.  I love Dr. Seuss!  A collection of these sing-song-y rhymes was the first thing I put on the bookshelves of our very first baby nursery.  Four kids later, I now have talents that include being able to recite The Cat In The Hat from memory! In honor of the late great Dr. Seuss (He would have been 107 on March 2nd) we are making these cute snacks!  Absolutely no skill or talent required! Simply start with a box of blue Jell-O..... and divide into four clear plastic cups. (The fish have to have a place to swim!) After the Jell-O has set, have the kids add their own fish!  (Swedish Fish, that is!) Ella's kindergarten class gets a Dr. Seuss party after they have collectively read 107 books! Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Groundhog Pudding Cups

Now that we are back living in The North, I'm starting to remember why, prior to my life in The South, I had only had a handful of pedicures and didn't own any sandals.  Exposing one's feet presents health risks.  Like frostbite. Groundhog's Day (February 2nd) is just around the corner. At this time, as legend has it, the groundhog will either emerge from its hole on a sunny day, see its shadow, get scared, and hide leaving us with six more weeks of winter, or it will emerge on a cloudy day, see nothing noteworthy and predict an early spring.  Sunny or not, a package of Pepperidge Farm Milano's was all the inspiration I needed to celebrate the impending season. When I first saw these cookies in Family Fun magazine, I immediately tore out the page. How cute are these groundhogs?  The actual assembly is a bit tedious, but the eager anticipation of the recipients makes it all worth while. Begin with some Milano cookies.  Use sliced almonds for the
