Cupids Crunch

11 years ago

Yesterday I attended a luncheon and we were treated with individually wrapped bags by one of the ladies. Everyone raved over the treat and wanted the recipe. She just sent it to me so I can email to my group, and I'm sharing with you.

Cupid's Crunch
Here is the recipe for Cupid Crunch. It's very easy. I used more popcorn than stated. Also, if you can't find the red & white candy corn, you can use mini marshmallows and/or craisins. I have not done that yet, but plan to on my next batch! I also make a popcorn treat with peppermint candy and it very good. I will be glad to provide that recipe if any one wants it.

Cupid Crunch

1 (24 oz) package vanilla Almond Bark
2 bags of lightly salted microwave popcorn, popped (approximately 16-20 cups popped popcorn)
1 1/2 cups Valentine candy corn
1 cup dry roasted, salted peanuts
1 1/2 cups M&Ms (Valentine colors)

Pop popcorn and place in a large bowl. The largest you have. Pour peanuts, candy corn, and M&Ms on top.

Break up almond bark. Melt according to package directions. Pour over popcorn mixture. Stir until everything is well coated and then spread out onto waxed paper, parchment, or foil. Let sit until completely dry and then break up into clumps.

This is a picture I found of what it looks like when it's prepared.

Thanks, Glenda. My movie group is going to the movies on Valentine's Day. If I find some time (mostly to buy the ingredients) I think I will surprise them and make them each a package.

Prof, it's Diatomaceous Earth. I didn't know it's supposed to help with pillbugs. If it gets wet, it doesn't work, which makes it less useful than it could be. Yes, it's funny how adamant people can be about knowing that pillbugs don't eat live plants, when it's just that the pillbugs never ate one of their plants. Or, they read this in a BOOK, so we must be imagining things! I try to be careful when I make statements, like "in my garden it happens this way"--because a lot of people defended pillbugs when it happened to me! My soil drains well and dries out fast, so I have to use mulch. That's moist, which the pillbugs love. In my veggie garden, I have walkways of old leaves, then carpet, then straw on top for aesthetics (when I can) and the pillbugs like it there better. No more disappearing tomato seedlings! Token, I read an interesting article where a gardener claimed that having the soil slightly alkaline killed all the slugs. He tossed his woodstove ashes around in the winter. I did that last winter, and I did see a lot fewer slugs. I think a person would have to be careful in clay soil, which seems to change pH more easily than sand. To answer the original question, I think your perennial babies will be fine! Hardy annuals too. My Nigella is still green, and we got down to -10 or -15 this winter. Busylizzy, that tip about sheer curtains is a good one!

Haha loved that, yes I find I do upset alot of people with out intending to! by the way the Aubergine bit cracks me up as recently another Brit friend over here (been here 4 years) said aubergine, and and American friend said "why do you call them that? its not logical", she held it up and said "what colour do you call this fruit?" "err Aubergine!!!!" FAsF! but to quote an British comedian and for the life of me cann't remember his name, about 2 weeks ago on the Now Show radio four, said "Americans do understand irony they just don't expect it every minute of every day!" and I think that sums up our differences! its alittle werid the cubic (wrote cupid! originally!) yards, gallons ect, must be older than you as I learnt both at school, but still the gallons, pints ect are smaller than ours where so still some confusion? I have an amazing neighbour and she so does and doesn't get my humour, sometimes I have to go into a longwinded explaination which I think losses the joke but when I have explained, she then laughts, other times she gets it straight away but sometime I think? surely she must have heard this before? she is internet dating and I said today "well you need to kiss alot of frogs before you find your prince" she laughted her head off! surely thats an oldy? oh and I posted Jasper Carrot the mole to a forum Sq foot, oh what the hay I'll post it here too! it went down well with the original poster, I think he must have been in America doing this as he uses a lot of americanisms, except for beetroot, instead of beets!

Purple Shed Makeover Project

Thanks for the comments. I just finished another coat of trim on the back and touched up some spots. There were probably 5 more cicada skins on the shed this morning. I think we are in for an invasion! I'm in human biology/science field, so bugs are not my area, lol. I originally wanted to do the shed in the dark purple, but DH did not want the whole shed in a dark color--we bought samples to try out. So that was the compromise. We didn't want to go too light either. The Twilight Purple a great color, almost like squid ink. I will need to get more of the cream paint, so don't know how much more I will get done today before it's too hot. Natal, I like the potager, too! BTW, our neighbors over the fence like the shed color.

I'm going to have to get up real early and go grocery shopping (which I did today). I have bridge from 1:00 to 5:00 tomorrow and Wine and Dine at 5:30. I have to meet everyone in the restaurant on Thursday at 11:30 for lunch preceding the movie. I'm not sure I can get it all in but it would be fun.

Did you find the time in your busy schedule to make it?

I did. I left here at 8:10 for Walmart's. Got home at 9:10. took Georgy for a walk at 9:20, cut it short and got home at 10:30. It was misting when I left, glad I cut the walk short because a block away from home it started raining a bit more. Got in, threw a cup of water in the microwave, took the wet clothes off, put my robe on, put wet clothes in washing machine, had a cup of hot chocolate, bowl of fruit and some Activia, made the crunch showered and got ready for bridge. Glad I made the crunch early because when I got home from bridge, I tasted it. Thought it a little too sweet, so I picked out the candy corn and added some more nuts. I put a few handfuls in clear cellophane bags and tied with pink curly ribbon. When I was in Walmart, I found some Valentine stickers and put one on each bag. I will bring them to lunch with me tomorrow. On the other half of the batch, I poured some melted semi-sweet chocolate pieces over and mixed it in. It made it less sweet but didn't look as pretty. Unfortunately, I don't care how it looks and have been eating it. LOL
