Tips From Easy Recipes
This is incredibly easy as there's no baking or chilling. The white chocolate will harden at room temperature. Its this that acts as the glue to keep the mess together
- This is a christmas candy recipe that's so easy to throw together if you have to bring something to a party. Make it up in minutes and allow to cool in the car. It will be ready and hardened by the time you get to the party.
- Make it colorful. For Christmas candy you may want to use just red and green M&Ms
- To make the popcorn crunchier, if you have time, place a layer of popcorn under the griller for 5 minutes
- Always use eating grade and not cooking chocolate in treats.
- If you don't have a piping bag, use a clean plastic bag with a corner snipped off
- Here's what I do which makes this easy candy even easier. I pour over gently in rough lines so it forms a criss-cross all over the mess
- To make all the goodies in this candy hang together, don't make the layer of goodies too thick. The chocolate has to be in contact with each piece of the mess to act as the glue
