this was amazing - i added some chocolate chex mix, reeses pieces, and used mixed nuts, rather than peanuts. I also added more peanut butter, and drizzled chocolate over the top of the dried pieces. This was delicious and so addictive! I was a bit unsure of the idea of making 14 cups of popcorn, but it was not as large of an amount as it sounds! Great recipe!

I made a quarter batch of this stuff and it's great! The peanut butter really cuts down on the sickly sweetness of the milk chocolate, as does the salted peanuts. The rice krispies adds a nice crunch compared to the popcorn. I just poured the mixture onto some foil, instead of using a baking pan, for easy clean up. The clumps seemed to fall apart easily though so I'm not sure how good of a party nibble it would be. More casual dining or in front of the TV munching snack.

I love to cook using fresh, healthy ingredients. I love shopping at the local farmer's market and seeing a huge basket of fruit on my counter and crispers full of vegetables in my fridge.
Lately I've also been more and more interested in eating foods that are grown locally and in season. I'm very interested in reading the books, The 100 Mile Diet and Barbara Kingsolver's book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (I haven't read either of these books yet, just heard interviews). My interest in eating foods grown locally and in season was piqued after I bought and read the cookbook, Simply in Season. If you're reading this and have similar interests shoot me an email, I'd love to chat about this more and be inspired by you and your recipes.
I am a SAHM/teacher. Mostly I stay at home with my three children (2 girls, ages 7 and 9 and 1 boy, age 2). A few days a week I do some substitute teaching. I really enjoy what I do. For fun I like to scrapbook, take pictures, read, and spend time with friends. I'm also finding I really like to cook.
