These cute little candy bites are a recipe that I found in the fun cookbook entitled "You Made That Dessert?" by Beth Lipton. The recipe calls for only four ingredients to make around 35 tasty candies. The candies are sweet and crunchy with a nice peanut butter butterscotch flavor. I added a little sea salt topping to mine for some extra flavor. The recipe is pretty basic and calls for rolling the candies into little balls. I decided to take it a step further and dress them up a little by using a candy mold and some melted chocolate. I think they turned out nice and would make a fun gift! Here is how you can make your own candies: You can find the basic recipe here. After you crush the cornflakes, add them to the melted peanut butter and butterscotch chips and mix in some vanilla extract. I used an organic unsweetened peanut butter because I wanted a true peanut flavor and not a whole lot of sugar as the butterscotch chips are very sweet! After the mixture is well combined set aside. Because I wanted my candies to have a more uniform shape I used this handy-dandy plastic candy mold that i got at the hobby store for around $2. I wanted to use up the left over candy melts from my caramel apple post, so i melted the chocolate in a squeeze bottle and poured a little into the mold. Next I used a small paint brush to brush the chocolate up the sides. The chocolate filled mold went into the fridge for 5 minutes to set. When set, I scooped out a small mound of peanut butter butterscotch mixture into the mold and then topped it with more melted chocolate. I sprinkled a little sea salt over the top of the chocolate and chilled the candies again for around 15 minutes. When completely chilled I popped the candies out of the mold and drizzled a little melted white chocolate across the tops. I placed the finished candies into individual mini-muffin cups that I found at the grocery store (73 cups for 99¢) and set them into a box for gift giving. You can also by-pass the chocolate and just scoop some of the peanut butter-butterscotch mixture directly into the molds and top with some chocolate sprinkles. Chill and unmold. Or even skip the mold by rolling the peanut butter-butterscotch mixture into small balls and then rolling the balls in chocolate sprinkles or chopped salted peanuts! Voila, you've got lots of yummy candies for you and your friends!

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees and line two baking sheets with silpat mats or parchment paper. In a medium pot over medium heat melt together the butter, sugar and corn syrup. Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the heat up to medium-high and continue to cook until golden brown and bubbly. Swirl the pot occasionally so the syrup doesn't burn, this should take around 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the salt and cayenne pepper then immediately pour mixture over the popcorn and stir to incorporate. Try to cover as much of the popcorn with the syrup as possible. Divide the popcorn evenly between the two baking sheets and bake for around 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let the baked popcorn cool before breaking apart into crunchy pieces. Put into a big bowl, grab a blanket and turn on the spooky movies. Happy Halloween Everyone & Thanks For Checking Out My Blog!
Wow, I can't believe it has been 2 months since my last post. I think the main reason is my iPhone hasn't been working for that long. The voicemail isn't working and I can't get internet access so I can't email pictures, so I have nothing to post. I wrote a good halloween post a couple years back, if I knew how to link to that I would. I don't really have anything to say. Nothing is going on. I'm fighting with Bank of the West. They really screw you over with the overdraft fees. I swear they hold them until applying puts you in overdraft, then apply them. They suck. Don't ever use Bank of the West. I fucking hate them. As soon as I can I am closing the account and switching to Chase. I don't care how big of a pain in the ass it is, I hate BOTW so fucking much. I hope a million people read this post and everyone closes their accounts. If any of the three people who read this blog have accounts there, please close them.
I am breaking from my hermetically sealed life to actually have brunch with my friend (and former co-worker) Lisa Chan tomorrow. I love Lisa. I'm actually looking forward to a social obligation for the first time in years.
Other than that, we are broke, I can't catch up on our bills, my back is killing me but I have used up the 30 physical therapy appoinments my insurance covers this year. I can't seem to get a day off from work for the life of me.
Oh, and fuck comcast too! I want to get AT&T Uverse so I can bundle in our iPhones and internet, but they don't offer it in my area. In othe words, they don't offer it to poor people so that Comcast can keep ripping us off. A few weeks ago we started losing random channels above channel 39 in the bedroom and kitchen until finally we had nothing above 39 left. Comcast told me I had to go to the comcast store and purchase converter boxes. Then I found out the same thing was happening to my parents and Comcast sent them boxes for free. So I called back and they did that for us. But you have to install them yourselves which was a pain and now I have an extra remote for each tv along with an extra little box that looks shitty sitting on my kitchen counter. Everything is bullshit these days.
Have a great day!
