Party Popcorn: Quick Marshmallow Mix Popcorn Recipe

Party Popcorn, by Ashton Swank

Yay! It’s time for the last Party Popcorn recipe post before the big giveaway!! (and just in the nick-of-time, I might add)

The big giveaway is going down tomorrow at 7am EST, so don’t miss it! But for now… one more recipe. And it just happens to be one of my very favorites (and one of the simplest)! It’s a beautiful harmony of my very favorite popcorn mix-ins: butter, marshmallows, M&Ms, and cashews. Seriously buttery, sweet and salty goodness that you won’t be able to stop snacking on.

You know what the holidays need? Popcorn. Obviously.

This Rocky Road Fudge is worth getting out of bed for!

This Rocky Road Fudge is worth getting out of bed for!

Yesterday I mentioned that I’m like the fudge-Cookie-Monster during the holidays. As in…. I eatallllllllllthefudge.

And I’m not ashamed, not even a little bit. Because, really… how often do people actually make fudge? Like, every day for a week in December and that’s pretty much it, right? So if you don’t scarf it all down in that one week, when else are you going to get your fudge fix throughout the rest of the year??

Never. That’s when.

Air-go: when you see fudge, eat all of it. Period.

This Rocky Road Fudge is worth getting out of bed for!

I’m especially partial to fudge with marshmallows in it. When I was in college , I worked in the University Bookstore which was renowned for its incredible fudge. During finals, sometimes, the candy counter workers would slip us sample slices while we were studying at the registers in between customers.

My favorite (well… there was a three-way tie to be honest, but that aside…) was Heavenly Hash. It was full of almonds and this massive ribbon of marshmallow cream that went right through the center of the fudge block. It. was. incredible.

This recipe isn’t quite the same as that fudge (since I went the easy route and used actual marshmallows instead of marshmallow cream), but the flavors are all there and it’s still insanely good. And insanely easy! You could even make this in the microwave and quick set it in the freezer (as I’ll likely do once I’ve finished writing this post) if you’re needing a fix likerightnow.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Homemade Stovetop Hot Chocolate Recipe

Homemade Hot Chocolate has never been easier or more delicious! Quickly made on the stovetop for hot chocolate in just a few minutes.

 

We’ve had several chilly, rainy, dreary days recently, so my daughter and I decided it was time to officially begin hot chocolate season.

I already have a really fabulous homemade hot chocolate mix that I posted last year. It’s my mom’s recipe that I grew up drinking, and if you’ve haven’t made yourself a batch yet, I hope you’ll give it a try this year! It’s seriously amazing.

But… I just haven’t gotten around to making up our mix for this year yet. And we were needing hot chocolate rightnowRIGHTNOW. So I decided to take the stovetop route and loved the recipe so much, I just had to share!
