Beaulah loves the color green.
She feels like it compliments her skin tones.
I would agree, they are both green!
(I bet you didn't even know that her little bag
has a lid that comes off and you can put
treats in it. So she can carry around both treats
and cookies.)
And yes, she knows she is missing
a few teeth, but she thinks it fits her
whole persona!
She was messing around in the kitchen
the other day and came up with this recipe
for Green Slimed Popcorn.
I like to think of it as
White Chocolate Covered Popcorn
with a greenish tint.
This is one of those "I can make it in under 10 minutes"
treats. It is great for neighbor treats.
Green Slimed Popcorn
or
Green Chocolate Covered Popcorn
1 regular bag microwave popcorn
(If you choose to air pop the popcorn
you need to add a salt as it won't taste
as good without the sweet/salty combo.)
1 1/4 C. white chocolate coating discs
Americolor's Neon Green Food Coloring Gel
Place popcorn bag in microwave and while it
is popping, place the coating discs in a microwave
safe bowl. When popcorn is done, remove it and
place chocolate discs in microwave. Melt for one
minute, then stir whether it looks like it is melted or
not (this keeps it from scorching). Melt it for another 30
seconds, then stir again. If it needs any more time,
microwave it in 10 second intervals. Remove and
stir until smooth. Add green food coloring gel until
you get the color of green you want.
Place warm popcorn in large bowl then pour the
melted green chocolate over the popcorn and
toss gently over and over until you have completely
coated the popcorn.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a large
baking sheet and pour the chocolate covered
popcorn out on the pan. Let cool until the chocolate
is firm.
(Chocolate covered popcorn is cooling here.)
Serve as desired. I had these cupcake
wrappers that I bought last year from
Wilton and I placed short plastic cups
inside the wrapper and served them
like this for a dinner. We called it
their "green salad".
Everyone wants to get their hands on this
yummy treat!
I have to warn you that it is
WICKEDLY ADDICTIVE.
The salty popcorn with the sweet and silky
"chocolate" is a great combination.
Of course you could make this with any
color added, orange, black, or red and green
for Christmas. It is so yummy and so easy.
