Cranberry Coconut Pistachio Popcorn

Today I’m over at Your Homebased Mom as part of the Bake, Craft, Sew, & Crochet – A Handmade Holiday event!

Bake, Craft, Sew and Crochet - A Handmade Holiday

Tis the season for gifts and goodies and as part of this fun event, I’m sharing how to make a festive Cranberry Coconut Pistachio Popcorn mix that’s great for gifting to family and friends during the holidays! Be sure to click over to Leigh Anne’s blog for the recipe along with lots of other yummy recipes and holiday ideas that she’s shared or collected from other great bloggers.

The holidays are sneaking up on us and that means gifts and goodies galore! So much fun & yum ahead!

I love giving tasty treats to friends, family, neighbors (who are also friends!), and teachers during the holidays. Tis the season! So when it comes this time of year, I’m always thinking of yummy, easy and economical gifts to make and give.

I’m obsessed with candy-coated popcorn these days! Yummy yum! It’s always a hit at parties or girl’s nights, so one of the tasty gifts I’ve decided to give this year is this festive cranberry coconut pistachio popcorn mix. Mmmm…mmmm!

Cranberry Coconut Pistachio Popcorn

It’s so sweet and snackable! Crunchy popcorn is coated in vanilla flavored candy, covered in sweet coconut flakes, garnished with dried cranberries and pistachios, and finished off with a generous drizzle of dark chocolate. Once it’s set, it can be broken into clumps and put in jars or baggies for giving or into a big bowl for serving and snacking.

Anyone would love receiving this fabulous popcorn during the holidays! They can put it out for their family and friends to munch on before or after the feast or they could just snuggle in with the jar on their lap and a holiday movie on the TV.

Happy Holidays!

We can't get enough of this One-Ingredient Banana We can't get enough of this One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream! 🍌🍦 It may be 100+ degrees here in Dallas, but we're staying cool and content with this naturally sweet treat. Simply slice and freeze any extra-ripe bananas you have on hand, blend in a food processor, and enjoy all summer long! 🤗 #TheBakerMama

Ingredient:
6 very ripe bananas

Instructions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the bananas into 1/2-inch slices and lay flat on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 1 and 1/2 hours.
2. Remove frozen bananas from the freezer and let set out for about 5 minutes while you set up your food processor or blender. You want the bananas to soften just a bit, but still be frozen.
3. Place the bananas in the food processor and pulse/blend until smooth and creamy. Serve and ENJOY!
 
Notes:
It has a soft serve consistency when you first make it which is so yummy. If you want a more scoopable consistency, freeze it in a freezer-safe container for at least 2 hours. It freezes well for up to 3 months. Just let it set out of the freezer for about 5 minutes to soften a bit before scooping.
Don't worry, brie happy! 😜 If you liked my reci Don't worry, brie happy! 😜 If you liked my recipe for grilled brie with strawberries, you'll LOVE this version made with grilled peaches, pesto, and basil. A fresh summer appetizer that everyone enjoys and it's SO easy to make! 🧀🍑 #TheBakerMama

Ingredients:

1 (8 ounce) wheel soft-ripened brie cheese
3 fresh peaches
1 crusty baguette
Olive oil
1/4 cup prepared pesto
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Sea salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat the grill to medium heat and brush the grates with oil.
2. Slice the peaches in half and remove the pits.
3. Slice the baguette into ¼ inch thick slices.
4. Place baguette slices, peaches (cut side up) and brie wheel on a baking sheet and brush the tops of everything with olive oil.
5. Put everything on the grill with the olive oiled sides down. Brush the tops of the baguette slices and brie wheel with olive oil while the bottoms are grilling.
6. Grill until you have beautiful grill marks and then flip the brie and baguette slices.
7. Remove everything from the grill once the peaches are soft with good grill marks, the brie is melted (about 2-3 minutes per side) and the baguette slices are toasted on both sides.
8. Transfer the brie to a serving plate.
9. Dice four of the grilled peach halves. Slice the other two peach halves into thin slices.
10. Place the diced peaches on top of the grilled brie.
11. Drizzle with the pesto and garnish with the chopped fresh basil.
12. Sprinkle it with a little sea salt.
13. Serve with grilled baguette and peach slices. Enjoy!
