I've just created the best, most unhealthy popcorn mix anyone will eat in their whole life.

So. I was doing my daily pintrest rounds, and what to my wandering eyes should appear, a picture of popcorn, m&m's and pretzels covered in white chocolate and drizzled in milk chocolate, OH DEAR!  So, I said to myself, "Do I need this? INDEED!"  So, I went to my kitchen and grabbed all these things:

1.  Stick Pretzels
2.  1 bag of microwave popcorn (normal sized)
3.  Peanut butter m&m's but you can use your favorite
4.  White chocolate, about half a bag
5.  Milk chocolate, about 1/4 cup

FIRST pop the popcorn, take all the old maids out and throw those suckers away, so you're only left with the fluffy popcorn. Then, put it in a large mixing bow. :]  SECOND take the m&m's and the STICK pretzels and put them in a large mixing bowl.  THIRD, melt your white chocolate.  No particular way, just make sure its melty.  FOURTH, pour into bowl with pretzels and m&m's, mix until fully coated. FIFTH, dump the mouth watering mix into the bowl with the popcorn, mix.  SIXTH, take out a cookie sheet and put a layer of tin foil or wax paper down and dump the heavenly mixture onto it, and try to flatten it out (may need more than one cookie sheet.  SEVENTH, take your milk chocolate, melt it.  EIGHTH, delicately drizzle the milk chocolate over the WHOLEEEEE thing.  NINTH, pop in freezer, wait ten painstaking minutes, remove, crunch up, put in a new big bowl, and enjoy, devour, inhale, whatever!  Perfect for a party!  Or perfect as a gift! Tell me what you think!

Cake Pops

Well, they were really good, but the devil to make...  So you're going to need:
1.  Cake Pop mix. 2.78 (Walmart)
2.  Veggie oil
3.  Water
4.  Eggs

Well, just follow the instructions on the box, and hopefully you have more luck than I did during the rolling in chocolate part.  I don't know how, but I burned the chocolate that came with it, so, I used white chocolate mixed with milk chocolate, and they still turned out pretty good.

So, here is what the finished product looks like. There are supposed to be 12... clearly that didn't happen. So, cake pops 1: Stephanie 0... Needless to say, not tackling cake pops ever again... Ever.

Chocolate Covered Pretzels with Peanut Butter :]

Man, I am just making some killer treats lately.  I made these over Halloween weekend for my 1st Halloween party at my apartment.  They were a big success and everyone loved them! So, for this wonderful little recipe, these are the ingredients you're going to need . . .

1.  Pretzels:  (Schnucks 2.00)
2.  Milk chocolate chips (Schnucks 2.00)
3.  Peanut butter (Meijer 2.00)
4.  Powdered sugar (Schnucks 1.25)
5.  Granulated sugar (Schnucks 1.25)

Your grand total is 8.50.  But, you're going to have a lot left over, so you're using >3$ of it.

First, you're going to make, the stuffing.  Take 1 1/2 cup of the peanut butter, 3/4 cups of powdered sugar, and 3/4 cups of granulated sugar and mix it all together.  If its still sticky, add 1/4 cups of both sugars until you are able to hold it without your fingers getting all gooey.

Then, roll about a 3/4 inch ball and smash it between 2 pretzels. Repeat this action until your peanut butter stuffing is gone.  Place the stuffed pretzels on a pizza pan in the freezer for about 20 minutes, during the last 5 minutes of freezing start melting HALF the bag of chocolate in a microwave safe dish and heat the chocolate in 30 second increments and stir until the chocolate is melted!  Take your stuffed pretzels and dip one side into the chocolate.  Put the pretzels back into the freezer until the chocolate is fully hardened.  When done, take them out and thoroughly enjoy. Just don't eat so many that you get sick!!! Because these babies are rich!

Enjoy the deliciousness
