Kids Conference Baskets

Here is something to share with the girls ya Visit Teach for General Conference this next weekend. The gift is actually more for their kids but as we all know happy, entertained kids are really a gift for mom! I found these baskets at the dollar store and filled them with some apples, yummy toffee apple dip (recipe below), pencils, crayons, and a copy of the Conference Booklets I mentioned in a earlier post for each kid. Hopefully it will keep them focused on Conference so their parents can enjoy it too! My friend did this and yummy!! I love this stuff now!

Have a great weekend!

Monster Munch {Halloween Popcorn Mix}

Recipe by Our Best Bites

1 package Almond Bark (1 lb)

12 C popped popcorn (about 1/2 C kernels or 2 bags of microwave popcorn)

1 C candy corn

1 C dry roasted, salted peanuts

1/2 C Reeces Pieces

Pop popcorn and place in a large bowl. Much larger than you think you need. The largest you have. It will make mixing easier! Pour peanuts, candy corn, and reeces pieces on top.

Take a large knife and break up almond bark. Melt according to package directions. I just chop it up a little and microwave it in intervals until smooth and melted. Pour over popcorn mixture.

Stir until everything is well coated and then spread out onto waxed paper, parchment, or foil. Let sit until completely dry and then break up into clumps. Super Easy!
