I understand that this is a strange and abnormal recipe for me to post, but considering they don’t sell that many edible, pink, party foods this might be just what you need. At any rate it was also delicious, so maybe you just want to jazz up snack time. PS you can make this any color (Ninja turtle food, anyone?)
I’ve found that most kids love popcorn. As far as snack foods go, it’s “single-ingredient”, whole grain and inexpensive. It’s easy to add to (peanuts, almonds, and M&Ms would be perfect for the school lunch box), and relatively low in calories. This particular batch was for a princess birthday party for Tessa’s 4th and it was a big hit with the kids.
When I was handing out cupcakes later on and had to frown face my gluten-free friend, I told her to dig into the princess popcorn as it’s naturally gluten free. I partook of the leftovers and was totally hooked on the salty sweet thing. I’m not usually a white chocolate fan but this was honestly yummy.
