CANDY BAR POPCORN– time: 5 minutes

• 1 (3.5 ounce) package microwave popcorn

• 1 king size bar chocolate-coated caramel-peanut nougat candy

Directions

1. Pop the popcorn according to the package directions. While the corn pops, cut the candy bar into 1/2 inch pieces.

2. Spread the popped corn onto a microwave-safe platter (use paper plates for easy clean up). Top with candy bar pieces. Heat on full power in the microwave at 30 second intervals, or until candy is melted.

CHOCOLATE COVERED MARSHMALLOWS– time: 5 minutes

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

• 10 large marshmallows

Directions

1. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch.

2. Dip the marshmallows in chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper or aluminum foil, and freeze. Let marshmallows sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.

COFFEE CUP SCRAMBLE-time: 2 minutes

• 2 eggs

• 2 tbsp milk

• 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese

• salt and pepper

Directions
