The first time Andrea made this was for a Valentine’s day soccer game treat. Thus, “Valentine Popcorn”. Though Megan insisted it was Princess corn.
Valentine Popcorn
Red Hot Cinnamon Popcorn
Andrea requested a not sweet snack. We thought cinnamon popcorn might do the trick.
Nope. It didn’t. But the rest of us thought it was very good!
Home Made Butterfingers
I do not remember where we found this recipe, but it was one of the first candy recipes we learned how to make.
While the recipe is very easy to make, it is also easy to let the temperature get to high. Because of this, I changed our recipe to a slightly lower temperature so that the candy is pulled off the heat earlier and has less chance of being overcooked.
Use your favorite recipe for the dipping chocolate. While confectionery coating is okay, a good milk chocolate or dark chocolate makes the candy taste the best.
Chocolate Chip Marshmallows
We enjoy learning new recipes every winter. Adrian decided that marshmallows sounded good to try this year. He attempted them himself and discovered they were a lot easier to make than he thought.
We used mini chocolate chips, but most of them melted. The next time we make these, we plan to omit the chocolate chips, but cut the squares larger and dunk them in the chocolate.
These taste great alone, but are also wonderful in hot chocolate!
