Happy Valentine's Day

It's coming...  you either hate it or you love it... Valentine's Day!

If you've got kids, you've got to love it.  I'm sure, like most of you, my kids like to put a little treat with the Valentine.  I went to get this treat at Target yesterday and couldn't bring myself to spend $20 on candy.  M said, "Ya know, ya really don't have to send candy.  The card would be enough."  What?  Are you kidding?  ME nurture withOUT food.  No way.  It's just not who I am!  Sad but true.

Plan B:

I bought the treat bags and emailed the sister-in-law for this FABULOUS popcorn recipe.  If you're in a school district where the kids can still bring homemade snacks, I guarantee this will be a hit.  Make a double batch so there's enough left for the tikes after you finish "trying it".

POPCORN GOODNESS

{I don't really know what it's called, but this sums it up!}

3-4 bags microwave popcorn

(natural or plain.. no butter or saltI use Orville Natural - approx 14 cups)

3/4 cup peanut butter (creamy)

1 1/2 LBS almond bark

3 cups rice krispies

2 cups peanuts

Remove all hulls and seeds from popcorn. Mix together dry ingredients. Melt almond bark and peanut butter. Pour this mixture over dry ingredients. Stir. Spread out on wax paper to dry. (1/2 - 1hr)

Bag it up and send it with the Valentines.

Enjoy!
