Guest post by my charming sister-in-law…….any and all comments should be directed her way for this very good treat that she makes every year! Almond bark, popcorn, pretzels, peanuts oh my!!
INGREDIENTS:
- *Air pop corn popper-because my husband is a freak and thinks that Microwave ovens (along with everything else in this world) cause cancer. I think that SEX causes cancer and that we need to keep that out of our house too!!!!! (lol)
- *Vanilla Almond Bark
- *Spanish peanuts
- *Pretzels
- *Popcorn
DIRECTIONS:
I melt one entire block thingy of Almond Bark on my stove top (again the microwave issue with the man) in a plain ole pot on LO to MEDIUM LO, until completely melted. While the candy is melting, Me & Orville Redenbacher get the poppin’ party started!! I fill the popcorn to the level indicated 2 times. This usually gives me enough popped corn for a full batch of Goodies. I used a fairly HUGE bowl.. Add popcorn, peanuts, & pretzels. When the candy is completely melted (whew, my arm is tried of stirring occasionally to prevent scalding) I add the melted candy and mix until completely covered.
Pour onto a wax paper to cool, as a little holiday cheer, I sprinkle red and green candy decor (sugar) over popcorn goodness before it cools.. Fill up your favorite holiday gift bags, add a cute lil bow or ribbon. There you have a perfect scrumptious homemade gift.
I also have a picture of just a Christmas candy that I make, just excluded the popcorn. Mix candy, pretzels, and peanuts until covered, and plop down on wax paper until cool. I also add the colored sprinkles for some holiday flare…..Get your filthy hands outta there I am taking a picture…….
Get your filthy candy grabber’s outta there, you no microwave wanting Nymph…or you’ll pull back a stump..
Happy Holidays Ya’ll!!
That is just too funny! Thanks for the laugh. The candy recipe looks great too!

hello, i often use a lot of your recipes, and was wondering how to print them with out the photos (to save ink on my printer). usually, i just copy and past the text into word, but i was wondering if you could create a print link without images?
thank you and I plan on making this for xmas celebrations!
Oh yeah…. I am sooooooo making this!
I’ll be making this for my Christmas eve party.
Gonna make this as soon as my “microwave” hating son goes out…He’s going through a “phase” and he’s driving me NUTZ!!!
So I just cook when he’s not around and he’s none the wiser. Don’t tell!
This recipe sounds like a great cure for PMS…I make one with canned Potato Stix and dark or milk chocolate chips!!! Sweet & Salty…Yummy!
Love the recipe!! Love your comment about the husband and the microwave just as much!! I laughed out loud!! My husband is the same way..I swear I thought he was the only one like that!!!
