5 E A S T E R C A N D Y Deviled Eggs with Bacon P O P C O R N INGREDIENTS: 10 Cups of Popped Popcorn 3 tbsp. Butter (Sweet Cream, Salted) 3 cups Mini Marshmallows Handful of Mini Marshmallows Bunny Mix M&M s Hershey s Milk Chocolate Candy Coated Eggs Ingredients 18 eggs 1 teaspoon spicy mustard 1 tablespoon yellow mustard 1/2 cup mayonnaise + 1 tablespoon 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt dash of cayenne pepper or paprika cooked bacon Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium sauce pan. Once the butter is melted, add 3 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are melted. Turn off the heat as soon as the last marshmallow has melted. you can add 1 tsp. of vanilla to the melted marshmallow mixture at this point The amount of marshmallow mixture you want to add is really up to your own taste. The more you add, the stickier the popcorn will be so add it a bit at a time, stir the popcorn and give it a taste before you add more. Leave a little bit of the marshmallow mixture for the next step. Now pour the popcorn onto a cookie sheet covered with foil. Drizzle a little bit of the remaining marshmallow mixture over the popcorn but do not mix it up. You will need the mixture at the top so the candy will have something to stick to. Mix M&M s & Hershey s Candy Coated Milk Chocolate Eggs to the Easter Candy Popcorn. Once the popcorn is covered in marshmallow mixture it is time to add the candy. But don t wait too long. You want the marshmallow mixture to still be warm and sticky. Sprinkle the candy onto the popcorn, concentrating on the areas with the most drizzled marshmallow mixture. Allow the Easter Candy Popcorn to cool. Break apart into pieces and serve Instructions Place eggs in pot; cover with water. Bring water to a rolling boil and boil for 9 minutes. Run cold water over eggs until cool enough to touch; drain water from pot. Peel eggs under running water; dab dry with paper towel. Cut eggs in half lengthwise; gently scoop yellow yolks into medium size bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, mustards, and spices. mash well with fork. Spoon mixture into quart size ziplock bag. Cut small hole in corner and squeeze out mixture into egg white halves. Sprinkle with paprika or cayenne pepper and add bacon to the top. Pea and mint soup with ham 50g butter 1 large onion 1 finely chopped garlic clove a few sprigs of mint 1 litre hot chicken or vegetable stock Instructions Melt the butter in a pan.
