Nutella Smores Popcorn - Feature of the Day

Just a really quick update as to why the week got away from me again! Our last official day at the house was Tuesday.  I also had two high school registrations and a dance open house this week.. It seems the closer we get to school the faster the days go, that is why it is Thursday I am just not getting to my first post of the week.   

I have been craving S'Mores this week!  A few days ago we bought a bag of S'Mores trail mix at Aldi. It was good, but it got Kara and I thinking about how we can make our own with different ingredients. Then on Dare to Share this week, I saw that Carrie from the Frugal Foodie Mama posted this recipe for her Nutella S'Mores popcorn. YUM!!  The mix of popcorn, chocolate, marshmallow and graham crackers looks crazy good. I think it would also be a great treat for parties.  I know I have some popcorn in the pantry, I may need to try this one ASAP.  Be sure to stop over to Frugal Foodie Mama to get the recipe.

Thank you so much Carrie for linking up your special popcorn to this week's Dare to Share.

"Candy" Corn

A few days ago we went to the movies, and had a big bag of  leftover popcorn.  We kept it wrapped up so it stayed fresh. I thought it might be fun to add something to it  to make it a seasonal treat.  I decided to make "candy" corn.

To give it some color, I warmed up a bag of orange candy melts. The green you see are  a few random  m&m s.  At one time I had a half of bag , but after a handful here and there,  there were not very many left.  When I threw them in, they quickly disappeared into the popcorn.

I thought it needed something else.   I remembered I had some Reeses cups in my candy stash.. I cut them up and added them to the corn,

It was starting to look really good.  Kara and I tried and oh my!  It was yummy!  

I bagged some up and added a cute Halloween ribbon.  "Candy" corn would be a fun treat for Halloween or a class party.  It would be very easy to customize it with your own color preference and favorite candy.  

I will be linking up "Candy" Corn at these linky parties HERE!
