Bacon-Wrapped Apple Slices - Best Apple Recipes. Basic Granola Recipe. Dutch Oven Kettle Corn. Popcorn Balls! My new holiday cookbook comes out today, and I’m so excited.

Popcorn Balls!

For so long, as I was working on the cooking and writing and editing, today was just this distant, faraway date that I never thought would get here. But it’s here! Time actually marched on! I really hope you enjoy the book, guys. It was a labor of love, and my camera is a sticky mess. To celebrate, I wanted to share one of my favorite Halloween recipes from the book since Halloween is, well…this week. Popcorn balls! And while we’re on the subject: How do you feel about popcorn balls? I made kettle corn, but you can use whatever popcorn you want. Then pour in popcorn kernels. When the oil is starting to sizzle but before the corn starts popping, pour in some sugar and gently shake the pan to coat all the kernels. Then, when the first couple of kernels start to pop… Put on the lid and hold it tight with one hand while you use the other hand to gently shake the pan back and forth on the burner.

Pumpkin Granola. Pumpkin Granola I love making homemade granola.

Pumpkin Granola

Not only does it taste good, but it makes the house smell amazing. I usually stir up a new recipe every time I make granola. I can’t help myself. There are so many flavors to play around with. Pumpkin, applesauce, and maple syrup bind the oats together so there is no need for butter or oil. When the granola was finished baking, I stirred in dried cranberries and pepitas. Pumpkin Granola Ingredients:5 cups rolled oats 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg ¾ tsp. salt ¾ cup brown sugar ½ cup pumpkin puree ¼ cup applesauce ¼ cup maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup pepitasDirections:1.

Chex Mix Recipe for Slow Cooker. Sep 13 Welcome to Unsophisticook!

Chex Mix Recipe for Slow Cooker

I'm always cooking up something new, so be sure to subscribe to the blog to receive FREE updates sent right to your inbox. Homemade Chex mix is something I've traditionally reserved for the holidays, making big batches in the oven and wrapping portions up as gifts for family and friends. But when I stumbled across a Chex mix recipe that utilized a slow cooker, I started wondering if my favorite tried and true recipe could be adapted to be made in my crockpot -- and so I got to work. Being diehard Ohio State Buckeyes fans, our Saturday afternoons are penciled in for watching college football from September through November, and somehow our garage has become the neighborhood game day hotspot (which I love!). I figured this past Saturday was the perfect opportunity to test out my new slow cooker Chex mix recipe.

I've since tweaked the recipe a little more, and in my opinion, it's even better. Ingredients: Instructions: Copyright Unsophisticook 2010-13. Cookies and Cream Popcorn. Okay, lets talk about the ultimate snack food for a minute… Popcorn.
