POPCORN MARSHMALLOW TREATS
YOU WILL NEED:
1 bag (about 3.3 ounces) microwave popcorn, popped)
1/4 cup butter
6 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup mini chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
Coat a 9×9 baking dish with cooking spray.
Sift through your popped popcorn to make sure you’ve taken out all the un-popped kernels.
PLace your butter in a very large microwave bowl. Microwave for about 30-45 seconds until melted.
add marshmallows to the butter bowl. Stir to coat with the butter. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring after 45 seconds. Stir to make sure the marshmallows are totally melted. Add your popcorn and stir carefully. Stir in the chocolate chips and immediately add to your baking dish.
Press the popcorn mixture into the pan with greased spatula. Let cool completely before slicing. You can refrigerate them to speed up this process.
I saw these sweet treats on the site Sugar Dish Me.
Recipe is from Crazy For Crust.

FROSTING FOR CUT OUT COOKIES
After you make a batch of your favorite cut out cookies, you can frost with this recipe. This frosting recipe hardens on the cookie. You can use a squeeze bottle, spoon or just drizzle on cookies. I used the recipe to make “ketchup” for French fry cookies. (see photos)
You will need:
A batch of pre made cut out cookies, I use Martha Stewart recipe.
½ cup confectioner sugar
½ tsp. almond extract, you could also use vanilla, but I like the almond taste better
1 TBSP. milk, I used skim, any is fine
Food coloring optional
Mix first 3 ingredients, If you choose add color, frost cookies with spoon, squeeze bottle, or drizzle.
Enjoy!

EASY MINT COOKIES
You will need
A sleeve of round crackers (could use more or less depending on how much chocolate you put on each cracker
Mint chocolate baking chips, 1 bag
Put chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave 30 seconds stir, microwave another 30 seconds and stir. If the chips are melted stop, if not continue to microwave 30 seconds until melted. When chocolate is melted place a cracker in chocolate flip with a fork to coat. Tap the fork to remove excess chocolate, place on parchment paper that is on a cookie sheet. Let chocolate set. I usually put in my fridge for a few minutes. When chocolate is fully hardened they are ready to eat.
Tips- If you can’t find mint chocolate chips. Try regular chocolate and add mint extract. I would try 1/2teaspoon first. Taste and adjust to your liking.
Enjoy!
