M & M Popcorn Treat

This is so simple to do, and I'll confess I saw it on Pinterest and just had to share.

Either pop a batch of popcorn in your popcorn maker, or make 2 microwave bags of popcorn - no flavoring. Add a dash of sea salt or two. Then, add a bag of M&M's. They could be whatever the holiday color is or just regular. a bag of mini-M&M's would be fine too.   Then melt either a pound bag of Wilton white chocolate candy melts or a package of almond bark. Mix together thoroughly, and then spread on a cookie sheet to dry. Once dry, package up in airtight bags or containers to eat.  Simple, Easy and Delicious.

Almond Joy Oatmeal

Almond Joy Oatmeal - 1 serving

1/2 Cup steel cut oats
1 Cup milk (you can use almond milk for a slightly different flavor)
2 Tablespoon shredded coconut, unsweetened
2 Tablespoon sliced almonds ( I like mine chopped)
2 tsp chocolate chips (I like the mini size for this)
Pinch of salt

Put your milk & oats in a small pan over medium heat. Simmer for 20-30 minutes depending on how chewy you like your oatmeal. once done, toss in a pinch of salt, the coconut, and almonds. Serve in a bowl with chocolate chips on top.
