A quick simple but delicious recipe is brownie peanut butter cup bites. I prepare a regular box of brownies but instead of putting the batter into a pan, I spoon it into lined mini muffin tins (fill to about 1/2 way) and then I push a mini reeses peanut butter cup into the center. I usually bake them for 8-10 mins and then keep checking them until I think they are done. They are super yummy and are gone in minutes!

Is icing sugar also called confectioner's sugar?

This sounds delicious! Thanks!

 

[ZipaDeeDooDah]

Yes, I believe it is the same thing (powdered sugar). They are really yummy (and easy)!

drizzle popcorn

makes white chocolate & peanut butter popcorn &
chocolate & peanut butter popcorn

you'll need:
microwave popcorn- KETTLE CORN
bag of milk choc chips
bag of white van. chips
bag of peanut butter chips

pop bag of popcorn in microwave. make sure it is kettle corn. we use the orville redenbachers one.

spread popcorn out onto cookie sheet. pick out unpoped kernels.
melt white chocolate in double boiler. you'll need to TEMPER this chocolate to make sure it hardens again on the popcorn.( if not sure how to do this basically you melt 2/3 of bag completely on the double boiler then remove from boiler & put the remaining 1/3 of choc. in melted stuff & melt this by mixing it around off the heat) once all melted, use a fork to drizzle white chocolate onto the popcorn. then do the same with the peanut butter chips- melt them & drizzle... the peanut butter chips DO NOT need to be tempered. only chocolate ones... white OR dark...

for popcorn with the chocolate, follow above directions and use the choc chips ( temper also) as well as the peanut butter.

once all is drizzled, place in fridge for @ 20-30 min & then take out & use a spatula to break up off the sheet. store in a large plastic bag until ready to transfer into smaller decorative gift bags. my local dollar tree has perfect xmas gift bags that we use & tie with a pretty ribbon.

sometimes we also ADD unsalted peanuts to the popcorn mixture before drizzling ( but only if i get them on sale) it is just as good w/o the peanuts
