I recently threw a baby shower for my cousin with the theme “Ready to POP” with many different popcorn recipes for the guests to try.

Snickers candy bars are one of my favorite treats, so I threw this recipe together using only three ingredients — it was a hit and many asked for the recipe!

Ingredients

• Popped Popcorn (I used 2 bags of microwave popcorn)
• 2 cups Milk Chocolate Candy Melts (or you could use chocolate chips)
• Snickers mini bars (about 10)

Instructions

1. Pop your popcorn by using your favorite method. I just used the super easy microwaveable kind – Smart Pop by Orville Redenbacher is my favorite and doesn’t have very much better. Lay out popcorn on a parchment or wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
2. Cut up Snickers mini bars into little pieces.
3. Melt the chocolate candy melts in the microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Stir.
4. Pour melted chocolate on top of popcorn and sprinkle the snickers bar pieces on top.
5. Mix all together while chocolate is still hot! Let sit for 45 minutes!

I’m thrilled to be here today sharing one of my favorite holiday treats. I’ve been making chocolate dipped pretzels as holiday gifts for about 8 years now and I never get tired of making them. Today I’m going to show you how to make peppermint bark pretzels.

Ingredients

• Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips or CandyQuik
• White Chocolate Chips
• Crushed Candy Canes

Instructions

1. Begin by melting the chocolate chips over a double boiler. (I like to use Ghirardelli chocolate chips but another great option is CandyQuik which can be found in the Target baking aisle)
2. Once the chocolate is melted dip the pretzels in and use a fork to take them out. The fork helps avoid big clumps of chocolate piled under the pretzel.
3. Give them a light shake to remove any excess then place on a wax paper lined baking sheet.
4. Allow the chocolate to harden.
5. Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl then place into a piping bag. Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle over the pretzels. Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top.
6. Allow chocolate to harden a few hours or place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

This is my go-to potluck recipe!  I make this salsa for every event, but I also make a big bowl of it for myself every now and then.  I love that it’s healthy and is heavy on the cilantro.

If you want to get nice and fancy hollow out some avocado skins and serve the salsa in them. You can easily half the cilantro or omit the avocado and this salsa is still devoured at every party!
