S’mores popcorn.

Hi friends!  I’m excited to say I’m starting the next chapter of my life, an exciting job I’ve been dreaming of for  along time.  With that being said.. I’m promising to posting one new recipe per week as I’m not ready to step away from blogging and enjoy the interactions with you all.  Recipe creation.  The creative outlet.  All of it.  I hope to still educate, share and inspire you in the kitchen to eat whole, real vegan foods.

This week’s recipe is a fun take on s’mores.  We’ve been in a serious Seattle-ish band of weather with quite a bit of rain.  S’more in our fire pit have been far and few between.  I thought this would be a super fun take on what we all love – popcorn, chocolate, roasted marshmallows and graham crackers.  You can make as much as you need, perfect for a party or movie night, and I promise… leftovers will not exist.  Even my 80 year old father devoured it!

The best combination of flavors in a sweet treat maybe EVAH!  These popcorn white chocolate chip bars are super moist, crunchy and flavor-packed.  I used my favorite popcorn ever, Live Love Pop, and it was the perfect combination with vegan white chocolate chips.  I wanted to make something Bill could eat, which is why I used white chocolate chips and it’s perfection. Seriously.  Kids, adults & everyone in between loves these.  I can’t wait for you to give these a try!

Funfetti Party Popcorn.

Are you ready to party?  This super fun Funfetti party popcorn is a reason to celebrate if you have a reason or NOT!  The kids love it.  The adults love it.  Super fun, colorful and a great little birthday treat to bag in clear bags and tie with a fun ribbon.  Easy & the perfect treat to make with your kids or grandchildren.  Also perfect for a sleepover.

Ingredients:

1 cup of popcorn kernels (or 2-3 microwave bags of popcorn popped)
3 tablespoons of oil
1 cup of white chocolate
3/4 cup of Funfetti cake mix
Rainbow sprinkles

Directions:

Over a medium flame, add some vegetable oil into a large Dutch oven.  Get the oil hot and add your popcorn kernels.  Cover the pot and give it a good shake.  The popcorn will start popping within 30 seconds or so.  Keep shaking it off and on.  When the popping slows down, remove from the heat and set aside.

Over a double boiler or in your microwave, melt one cup of white chocolate wafers/chips.  When they start melting add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil.  Keep whisking until melted.  Then add the Funfetti cake batter powder.  Whisk to combine.

Place a large piece of tinfoil on your countertop.  Lay the popcorn out in an even layer.  With a large spoon, drop some of the white chocolate throughout.  Then add some rainbow sprinkles.  Give a good toss with clean hands (be careful it will be hot/warm).  Top with additional sprinkles.  Let set up on your counter or refrigerate for about 15 minutes.  Serve immediately!  Watch the smiles 🙂
