Snacking seems to be something we
all do from time to time. Whether it’s
at a movie or just hanging around home, popping something quick
into our mouths is something that is part of our culture. One of the most popular snacks around is
popcorn. While most people only think of
popcorn while at the movies, the properties of this great snack can be easily
dressed up or down to meet you event needs.
Drizzling truffle oil on it for a high end shin dig or using it as a
snack for school age kids, are just some of the possibilities that should be
explored.
Popcorn can make some of the best
desserts. These can be easily shared
with neighbors, friends or guests. If
sharing is not your thing, you can always keep your yummy treats for
yourself. Easy ways to turn popcorn into
treats are to make your own drizzles for the popcorn. A simple combination of butter, milk and
brown sugar can be brought to temperature and make a great caramel covering for
your popcorn treats. These treats can be
shaped for different holidays or just eaten while the caramel is still warm,
making for an extra special treat.
If you are looking for a more
decadent dessert popcorn can still be used.
Instead of going the caramel route, choose white or dark chocolate as
your sweetener. These can be drizzled
over the popcorn for treat your guests will be glad you made. You can even add other items to go with the
chocolate drizzle. Some favorites
include cereal, M & M’s, and/or candy corn.
Using seasonal candy with this treat will not only bring some great
seasonal colors to your desert, but will also show off your creativity.
