Halloween Goodies

Today we made the "Monster Munch" drop-off's to all our teachers/secretaries and favorite librarians. The kids had an early release day yesterday, so we spent the afternoon with our elbows in white chocolate and popcorn. Nothing says Halloween like junk food central. It's become a tradition to make this yummy stuff every year. Here is the receipe:
Monster Munch {Halloween Popcorn Mix}
Recipe by Our Best Bites - I usually double this receipe if making for teachers and friends.

1 package Almond Bark (1 lb)
12 C popped popcorn (about 1/2 C kernals)
1 C candy corn
1 C dry roasted, salted peanuts
1/2 C Reeces Pieces/or Halloween M&M's

Pop popcorn and place in a large bowl. Much larger than you think you need. The largest you have. It will make mixing easier! Highly recommend going through and pulling out all the unpopped kernals. It is rather painful to chomp down on those later! Pour peanuts, candy corn, and M&M's on top.

Take a large knife and break up almond bark. Melt according to package directions. I just chop it up a little and microwave it in intervals until smooth and melted.

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. Place in containers, and voila...yummy stuff.

Then we will be making another tradition as well tonight....Mummy Dogs. Yep. It's been rough planning this one. Took me all day to prepare. ;) Seriously, one of the easiest dinners you will EVER make. Two ingredients: hot dogs and cresent roll dough. Bake them according to the directions on the dough. Easy stuff. Add a few dabs of mustard for eyes and instant happiness on a plate if you are 10 and under. Or 40, daddy loves them too.
