Pretty Pink Pop{corn}

It's Friday!! Which means DVD's, friends, family, eats and lots of weekend treats! This is, I think, one of the quickest treats that you will ever make. That's if you have a microwave (or a stove if you prefer stove popcorn), but remember, I'm trying to make it even quicker!

 

This is a perfect girly birthday party nibble, kitchen tea treat, DVD night sweet snack or makes for a very pretty popcorn cake pop - just add a pop stick. Or you can even package it and make a homemade edible gift. So, let the sticky-fun start! This recipe makes about 14-16 medium sized Pretty Pink Pop{corn} pops/balls. - also, I just had to share the very pretty plum tree blossoms outside my kitchen!

 

 

 

 

This is what you need:

 

{Ingredients}

 

45 Pink/White Marshmallows

120g Stork Bake

1 packet Ster Kinekor unflavoured popcorn.

Mixing bowl

Microwave - or you can replace it by making your own popcorn, about 5 cups popped popcorn

Saucepan

 

{Method}

 

Grease the mixing bowl and set aside. Pop the Ster Kinekor unflavoured {light} popcorn, available at Pick n Pay, in the microwave as indicated on the package and according to your microwave strength. Put at least 4-5 cups of popped popcorn into the greased mixing bowl.

 

In the saucepan, melt the Stork Bake over medium heat. Add marshmallow and stir until completely melted. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and mix through. Make sure that each piece popcorn at least has a little bit of the marshmallow mixture touching it.

 

Now its time to get your hands dirty. Grease the insides of your hands with a little bit of Stork Bake, just to keep the sticky mixture from sticking to your hands. Now start making small-medium sized popcorn pops/balls with your hands.

 

Lightly grease a plate and place the already rolled popcorn balls on the plate and refrigerate until cool. Remember, the mixture will not go hard - it's not caramel - it will simply cool and keep the ball in its shape. Store in a airtight container in the refrigerator.

 

Yummy!

{30 Seconds} to say CHEESE!

I wish I could start every Monday with a big smile on my face like the one I'm carrying around today! There's just nothing better than being in the company of great friends, amazing food, a perfect cheese platter and the amount of laughter that comes from one rule-adjusted game of 30 Seconds!

My husband and I made a quick trip to Cape Town last night for a late Sunday afternoon 'braai' - I must just mention that there was no fire, 'tjops' or 'braaisous' involved, oh no, this was much much better! Our hosts, Danni & Leroy had us vulture around a mouthwatering cheese platter - just look at the pictures below and you'll see why I just had to document this masterpiece! Little did we know that after what I call The Villet Cheese Platter was served there was a pork belly and an upside-down apple tart heading our way - they worked like 'vinkel en koljander' in their kitchen and in our slightly 'adjusted' game of 30 seconds! I blame our loss on the CHEESE, but it was worth it!

Enjoy! - as for me, I'll have to brush up on my 30 seconds skills in the meantime - even if it's just my general knowledge about...cheese!

What is your favourite cheese? Have you seen the Pick n Pay Cheese Bar, wow! So many to cheeses to choose from!

{Gevriesde} Vrydag Vrugtefees!

Van kindsbeen af kan ek onthou hoe ons somerdae gewag het vir dit om tyd te word vir Waatlemoen! Ons het onlangs verhuis na 'n pragtige plaashuisie in die Paarl, ja - daar waar dit snikheet warm word, jou wasgoed van die masjien tot die draad droog word en waar jy 90% van jou yskasprodukte in die vrieskas bêre net sodat dit lank genoeg koud bly.

Dit is met hierdie vrieskas-mode dat ek my gevriesde vrugtefees ontdek het! Nadat ek by Pick n Pay vir my heerlike vars 'moonball' druiwe en 'n yslike groot waatlemoen gekoop het, kon ek nie anders as om in dié hitte aan 'n yskas-kreatiewe manier te dink om my vrugte so koud as moontlik vir gaste voor te sit nie.

In plaas daarvan om waatlemoen net op te sny, het ek vormpies uitgedruk en 'n roomys-stokkie ingesit, sodat jou gaste dit maklik kan neem en eet. Die 'moonball' druiwe het ek net eenvoudig oornag in die vrieskas geplaas en in 'n bakkie bedien.

Somer-koel en kreatief!
