Super Easy Party Snack


This is an easy snack to take to a party or to serve to drop in guests. It comes together so easily but it's pretty and everyone will love it.

The basic version only has 2 ingredients: 1 package of vanilla flavored almond bark and regular, unflavored popcorn (if you use microwave popcorn about 2 bags should do it).

Melt the almond bark on medium-low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy. Poor over popped popcorn and stir until all the popcorn is coated. Spread popcorn on waxed paper or aluminum foil and let set. Break into smaller pieces and store in airtight container.

There are so many variations on this. You can add M&Ms, sprinkles, nuts or you can do the same thing with pretzel sticks, peanuts and Chex Mix cereal in place of the popcorn(we call it white trash when we make it that way). There's no wrong way to make it, unless you wanted to add bacon or something which would just be weird. :)

This sounds so wonderful! And actually...I think that a little bacon might be good in it. Maybe. :)

I'm assuming this is with white chocolate almond bark?

Alejandra, yes it's vanilla flavored almond bark. I'll change it.

You know after I wrote about the bacon I thought the same thing. A little bacon always makes things taste better doesn't it? :)
