Love Crunch

By Meaghan SmithFebruary 7, 2023

Love crunch is the perfect Valentine’s Day treat to make and give everyone! I’m talking teacher’s gifts, class Valentine’s Day parties, neighbors, family, friends, really anyone to let them know you are thinking of them! Made with 4 ingredients, which you might already have in your pantry, it comes together in under 15 minutes.

Love crunch is the perfect Valentine’s Day treat to make and give everyone! I’m talking teacher’s gifts, class Valentine’s Day parties, neighbors, family, friends, really anyone to let them know you are thinking of them! Made with 4 ingredients, which you might already have in your pantry, it comes together in under 15 minutes.

Kid’s in the kitchen?! Yes, please!

This is a fun and delicious treat for kids to get involved in making! My children love drizzling the chocolate over the popcorn and adding all the sprinkles. Plus it’s always nice to have extra hands packaging up all the gifts!

What you need:

Popcorn: To make this recipe super easy, use precooked popcorn. You will need plain popcorn with no flavoring like butter, cheese, etc.

White Chocolate Chips: White chocolate chips can be a little fussy when heating them up. Make sure to do it on 30 second increments at 50% power. Stir between each time until the white chocolate is fully melted

M&Ms: I love using the M&Ms cupid mix milk chocolate to give it all the beautiful Valentine’s day colors

Sprinkles: Get creative, whatever Valentine’s day sprinkles you like, use! I used heart shaped sprinkles and nonpareils in pink, red, and white here

 

Love Crunch

Ingredients

  • 7 cups pre-made popcorn
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup M&Ms
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles, more if desired

Instructions

  • In a bowl add white chocolate chips and heat in 30 second increments, stirring in between each increment, until fully melted. On a parchment lined cookie sheet add pre-made popcorn and drizzle melted white chocolate over the top. Gently stir to coat the white chocolate over the popcorn
  • Add in M&Ms and sprinkles over the top. Gently stir again until the M&Ms and sprinkles are coating the white chocolate covered popcorn. Spread popcorn evenly on the baking sheet to allow the white chocolate to harden. Once the white chocolate is set, pour into a bowl and enjoy

💬 Comment RECIPE & I’ll send you a DM

INGREDIENTS:
STRAWBERRY LAYER
2 lbs fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1 lemon juiced
2 tsp vanilla extract

MASCARPONE CREAM
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
16 oz mascarpone cheese softened
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract

TO ASSEMBLE
14 oz ladyfinger cookies (Savoiardi)
1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves (optional but delicious)
Extra strawberries for topping

Prep the Strawberries:
In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Let sit for 15-30 minutes until juicy.

Make the Mascarpone Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, gently mix mascarpone until smooth, then fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until light and fluffy.�
Assemble the Layers:
Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the strawberry syrup (just a quick dunk, don’t soak!)��Arrange a full layer of ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. You may need to cut some of the ladyfingers to fit.��Spread half the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.��Spoon strawberry jam swirls over the cream (optional but adds amazing flavor), then layer on the macerated strawberries, saving a few spoonfuls to serve on the side.��Repeat the layers: dipped ladyfingers, remaining mascarpone cream, and more strawberry jam swirls for decoration on top.

Chill at least 6 hours before serving, overnight is even better! Garnish with extra sliced strawberries when ready to serve.

Life lately…🤍 The past couple weeks have been ful Life lately…🤍

The past couple weeks have been full in the best way. Between kids’ sports, family time, and having my Grandma here (she’s 88 and visiting from New Jersey), I just wanted to slow down and really be present for it all.

A lot of real life, a lot of good food, and a lot of moments I didn’t want to rush through.

I’ve missed being on here and sharing with you. Easing back in this week and excited to share more 🫶🏼

PS: LAST SLIDE IS my Great Grandma’s plum cake recipe!!

INGREDIENTS 
6 cups romaine lettuce chopped (about 3 small heads)
1 small red onion, diced
2 cups frozen peas, defrosted
1 red bell pepper, chopped
7 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1 lb thick cut bacon, cooked and chopped
1 1/2 cups cheddar or colby jack cheese, freshly shredded

DRESSING
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS 
Add chopped romaine lettuce to the bottom of a trifle bowl or large glass bowl.

Layer red onion, red bell pepper, and peas around the edges so they are visible from the outside.

Press sliced eggs against the glass for a layered look. Chop the remaining eggs and add them to the center to fill it in evenly.

In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Spoon the dressing into the center, then gently spread it outward to seal the top.

Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the dressing, then top with chopped bacon.

Okay I know Easter is basically over… but you need Okay I know Easter is basically over… but you need to save this for next year 🐰✝️ Or honestly, just make it all spring long 🌸

My dad (who doesn’t bake at all) made this cake when I was little, and it’s one of my fav core Easter memories 🤍 It’s so cute, fun to get kids involved with, and instantly makes everything feel a little more fun and special!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Bake your favorite cake in two 8-inch round pans. Let them cool completely, then wrap and freeze for easier cutting.

Keep one cake whole for the face. Cut the second cake to create the ears and bow tie, then arrange everything on a platter.

Frost with white icing and cover with shredded coconut (leave a little space in the ears for pink frosting). 

Decorate with gumdrops, jelly beans, fruit punch straws, or whatever candy you have on hand!

SAVE this for spring or next Easter 🐰
