Candy Popcorn Snack

Today I am sharing with you one of the easiest treats I have ever made. It is so simple and super delicious, this is perfect for a party of any kind and can easily be customized to fit your event. I'm going to be honest with you though, this is highly delicious and addictive and really not that good for you. Seriously though, every single person I've ever made it for has not been able to stop eating it. It is a blessing and a curse so be prepared!

What You Need
1 bag white chocolate chips
1 bag Chester's Original Puffs
Sprinkles of Choice (optional)
Wax Paper/Foil

You will also need a microwavable bowl and a large mixing bowl and spoon.

The first step is to put the white chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl. You are going to just melt the chips, it takes 1 minute in my microwave. 

After those are melted you are going to stir them together and they should look like the above chips. If there are some that are still not melted all the way this is fine. As long as 90% is melted you are ready for step 3. 

Dump your bag of Puff Corn into a large mixing bowl. Then you are going to pour all of the white chocolate chips on top of the puffcorn like below. 

Once all of the white chocolate is in the mixing bowl you are going to stir it all together. You want the chocolate to be on every piece of puff corn. This should be fairly easy to mix up and just make sure that every piece is mostly covered, they will look like the picture below. 

After this you are going to lay out your wax paper or tin foil. They both work the same, just use whatever you have on hand. Make sure you tear a pretty good size piece, for one bag I would tear a little bigger then a large cookie sheet. You are going to put all of the mixed puff corn and chocolate on the sheet, just pour the mixture out on the foil. Then you are going to want to spread it all out, you don't want it stacked on top of each other, separate all of the puff corn so it's one thin layer. 

The puff corn should now look like the above picture on your counter. The next step is optional, if you decide to add sprinkles which don't change the taste- they just add some color and make it more fun. This is when you do it, cover the puff corn with as little or as many sprinkles as you want. You want to do this now while they are still cooling so the sprinkles will stick to puff corn.  

This is what it sill look like, then you need to let the puff corn sit for at least 20 minutes to harden up. You want all of the chocolate to dry and stick to the puff corn.

I got my sprinkle's in the discount section at Target. I like them because they are really fine, so they stuck to the popcorn really well. Any sprinkles will work these are just the kind that I prefer. 

After you let everything dry and harden you are ready to serve! The puff corn will stick some to the foil but you just pick it off and put in a fun bowl. Then you are ready to serve at any party or event! This is a great simple treat that takes no time at all!

Wedding Wednesday- Having our Cake and Eat it Too

As a major sweet tooth I take our wedding dessert very seriously. I am an avid connoisseur of desserts in all forms and flavors. I enjoy the chocolate variety, as well as fruity, creamy, sweet, tart, and sometimes I even go for sour. So when Jarr and I started planning our wedding this was something that was on the top of my list.  To find out the other things we have pursued in our wedding planning process check out all the other Wedding Wednesday posts about my bouquet, my dress, choosing colors, picking a location, and wedding favors.

In our Pinterest world there are so many options for wedding cakes, wedding cupcakes, candy bars, and wedding desserts of all varieties. So I'm going to compile a small list of options for your wedding planning needs. We have chosen a small variety from all of these options and we really enjoyed all of the cake tasting we were able to do for this endeavor.

I LOVE the idea of a candy bar, this is something that will really meet the needs of every person who attends your wedding. There is a variety of options as you can see above and they have done a wonderful job of displaying everything here to look very pretty which is always a good idea. This would be really fun to do with bright wedding colors and a great way to bring in your colors at your reception without spending a lot of money.

For the breakfast lover/donut lover this is a great option. I though this was very unique and fun for a wedding cake. I love how some of the donuts are iced in what I'm guessing is a wedding color. This is such a fun idea and something that would also work well as a grooms cake.

Of course I had to show a traditional wedding cake, but these colors. Man, are they gorgeous or what. I love the teal and pinks together, they complement each other so well and I also love how this cake is ombre. Also, the stand the cake is sitting on is so feminine and pretty, it looks like a family heirloom.

Now this is the kind of cake that Jarr would be all over, he loves his pie. This is something he would be super excited about. I like how they have a variety of pies in different flavors and how they did mini pie tins and now just different big pies. This reminds me of the mini pumpkin pies my grandma used to make us for thanksgiving when I was a kid.

Here is another take on a desert bar, I love that there is obviously a large variety of delicious desserts available for everyone. The hardest part about this would be choosing which dessert to eat. All of these look yummy and like they would please any wedding goer.

What desserts did you pick for your wedding? Did you have your cake and eat it too?
