White Chocolate Puffcorn Food

WHITE CHOCOLATE PUFF CORN CRACK

Steps:

• Pour the Puffcorn into a large mixing bowl. Spread some waxed paper out on your counter or table.
• Break the almond bark into pieces and place it in a glass bowl. Cook in the microwave at half power, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
• Pour the melted white chocolate over the puffcorn and stir till coated evenly.
• Spread onto waxed paper. If desired, add sprinkles. Let sit till hardened.

WHITE CHOCOLATE POPCORN

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. (Watch it closely if you use the microwave).
• Microwave 2 bags of popcorn or pop about 7 oz. popcorn kernels.
• In a large tub, (or 2 large bowls) drizzle melted white chocolate over popcorn. Mix and fluff as you go. Your looking for a light coat of chocolate on the popcorn -- too much will make the popcorn soggy and spongy.
• Let popcorn cool in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens. This is a great time to scoop servings of the popcorn into large ziplock baggys for easy storage.
• **Try bringing this to the party/couch/campout/slumberparty and letting your guest discover that it's not ordinary popcorn on their own ;) It's the greatest 1/2 a sec. in your life before you figure out what's goin' on.

PANDORA'S BOX

Steps:

• Microwave the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the puffcorn in a large mixing bowl or giant resealable bag (like a sweater storage bag). Pour the melted almond bark over the puffcorn and mix or shake to completely coat.
• Spread the mixture out onto parchment paper or in a single layer in the resealable bag to set, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container. If left uncovered for too long, the puffcorn will get soggy. Lasts about 5 minutes!

ANGEL POOP

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Place the white chocolate chips into a large microwave-safe bowl, and heat on low power for 30-second intervals until the chocolate chips have begun to melt.
• Stir the chips until smooth.
• Pour the corn puff snacks into the bowl with the white chocolate, and stir to coat the puffs with the chocolate.
• Spread the mixture out onto the waxed paper-lined baking sheet and allow to set, about 30 minutes.
• Break the mixture up into bite-size pieces to serve.

WHITE CHOCOLATE POPCORN

Steps:

• Pop 1 popcorn package at a time in the microwave on high until popping begins to slow down, about 2 1/2 minutes. Open bags carefully and transfer popcorn to a large plastic bag, discarding any burnt pieces or unpopped kernels.
• Melt white chocolate chips with butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula, until mixture is creamy, about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle melted chocolate over popcorn. Close bag and shake until thoroughly coated, 3 to 4 minutes. Place in the refrigerator to cool, about 1 hour.

WHITE CHOCOLATE PUFFCORN

Steps:

• Melt almond bark in a bowl in the microwave on medium heat stirring every minute or so. Pour melted chocolate into a small baggie.
• Cover a roaster or cake pan with aluminum foil. Pour package of puffcorn into pan. Cut a corner of the baggie and drizzle chocolate over puffcorn. Stir until well coated. Let sit until chocolate is set. You can place in the fridge to help it set faster. Break pieces apart and enjoy!!

ZUCCHINI AND WHITE BEAN CAESAR

Steps:

• Tear ½ small loaf crusty bread (such as country-style, ciabatta, or baguette) into 1" pieces (you should have about 4 cups). Heat ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add bread and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Whisk together 2 large egg yolks*, 2 large garlic cloves, finely grated, 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, and 3 tsp. Dijon mustard in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually pour in ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil, starting drop by drop and increasing to a steady stream. (To keep the bowl from sliding as you whisk, set inside a snugly fitting saucepan or wrap a damp kitchen towel around base of bowl to stabilize.) Whisk until mixture is emulsified and achieves a consistency between heavy cream and mayonnaise. (Alternatively, you can use a food processor, first pulsing egg yolk mixture together, then running the motor while you gradually stream in oil.)
• Finely chop 3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, then sprinkle with salt and use the side of your knife to mash into a paste; scrape into egg yolk mixture. Add 1½ oz. Parmesan, finely grated, ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. kosher salt, and lots of pepper; whisk to combine. Taste dressing and season with more salt and pepper if needed (dressing should be pretty assertive-we're about to add lots of bread, zucchini, and beans).
• Place croutons, 1½ lb. zucchini (about 6 medium), shaved into ribbons lengthwise with a vegetable peeler, and one 15.5-oz. can white beans (such as cannellini, butter, or navy), rinsed, patted dry, in a large bowl; drizzle with dressing and toss gently to coat.
• Divide salad among plates and top with more Parmesan and lemon zest, season with more pepper, and drizzle with more oil if desired. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over. *Raw egg is not recommended for infants, the elderly, pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems...or people who don't like raw eggs. Just use coddled egg yolks instead if needed.

WHITE CHOCOLATE PUFFCORN

Steps:

• Melt half of a block(or pkg) of white almond bark in a microwave safe bowl. I try to cook on a medium setting and stir every minute or so.
• Pour the package of puffcorn into a cake or roaster pan. I usually place aluminum foil in bottom of pan for easier clean up. Pour melted almond bark into a small baggie and cut off a corner. Drizzle chocolate on puffcorn and coat well. Stir to mix and let sit. It will set up in no time. You can place in fridge to help it set up. Break apart and enjoy!!
