Cupid Corn

This is my go-to recipe for almost every holiday. It's something we give at Christmas time to our neighbors and friends and also something I make during Halloween and Thanksgiving. My Beehives and ladies I VT love it and look forward to it during the holidays. So, here is my M&M popcorn recipe... Valentines Day style. :) A friend of mine calls it Cupid Corn, so that is the name I will use.

*2 bags of popcorn (I use light or no butter)
*1 package of (white chocolate) Almond Bark
*1 bag of Valentine M&M's (pink, red & white)
*Pink or red chocolate disks (optional, but definitely makes the popcorn look cute) :)
*Valentine Sprinkles


1. Pop the popcorn according to directions on bag.
2. Melt the almond bark in the microwave.
3. Mix the popcorn and white chocolate together.
4. Add the M&M's and sprinkles.
5. Lay out mixture on Parchment paper.
6. Melt about 10 pink or red disks in a plastic baggie, snip the end, drizzle all over the popcorn.
7. Let it dry and break into pieces and put in baggies for a cute V-Day gift.

White Chocolate Candy Popcorn

2 bags of microwavable popcorn ( I use butter, but you can choose)
1 bag of Christmas colored m&ms
1 package of vanilla almond bark

Pop popcorn, let cool. Melt almond bark according to directions. Pour over popcorn and stir around. Sprinkle m&ms in and mix. Let harden, then break up and put in baggies.(Other items you can add in to popcorn are: pretzels, nuts, cheerios, etc)

Another fun thing about this recipe is you can use it for many different holidays. I just made it for a little Halloween treat, but instead of the Christmas m&m's, I used Reeces Pieces & candy corn.

Monster Munch (Halloween Popcorn Mix)

Got this recipe from one of my favorite websites (ourbites.com) and will be making it for the ladies I visit teach this year. Can't wait to try it!

1 package Almond Bark (1 lb)
2 bags popcorn
1 C candy corn
1 C dry roasted, salted peanuts
1/2 C Reeces Pieces

Pop popcorn and place in a large bowl. Much larger than you think you need. The largest you have. It will make mixing easier! Pour peanuts, candy corn, and reeces pieces on top.
Take a large knife and break up almond bark. Melt according to package directions... just chop it up a little and microwave it in intervals until smooth and melted. Pour over popcorn mixture.
Stir until everything is well coated and then spread out onto waxed paper, parchment, or foil. Let sit until completely dry and then break up into clumps.
This makes a big batch so it's great for packing up into cute bags and sharing!

**If you've never bought almond bark before, you can find it in most normal grocery stores in the baking isle, usually by the chocolate chips. It comes in a 1lb brick, scored into squares and it melts really easily in the microwave or stove top. It tastes like white chocolate, but is much easier to work with.**
