October is a favorite month and we are enjoying all the fun this season has to offer. Last weekend we carved our pumpkins and cooked the pumpkin seeds with butter and salt. I have one that LOVED digging into the inside of the cold, gooey pumpkin gettin’ out all the stuff… the other was more apprehensive and after a few quick digs was ready for handwashing. 🙂 Good thing we were up for taking the ‘offer’ to help out on this one! 🙂
We also love anything that involves dipping in almond bark, so I thought this fall treat would be right up our alley! A fun recipe to do with kids or grandkids. It’s a great snack or dessert and involves simple ingredients:
popped popcorn
Chex cereal
pretzel sticks, broken into small bits
candy corn
and sprinkles of course
Mix together and drizzle with almond bark.
Happy Fall Y’all!
- 4 cups popped popcorn
- 4 cups Chex Corn Cereal
- 2 cups thin pretzel sticks broken into pieces
- 1½ c. candy corn
- 12 oz. almond bark
- 2 T. chocolate sprinkles
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Add the popcorn, Chex cereal, pretzel pieces, and candy corn to a very large mixing bowl.
- In a microwave safe-bowl melt the almond bark according to package directions.
- Drizzle almond bark over the popcorn mixture, then using a spatula, quickly (but gently) stir and fold until all the ingredients are coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the lined baking sheet, spreading it out to an even layer.
- Sprinkle the chocolate sprinkles on top.
- Once dry and set, break into snack-size pieces and serve.
