1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • When several kernels have popped, begin carefully shaking the pot side to side, front to back while still on the heat, to keep kernels moving inside.
  • Continue shaking until you don't hear many kernels still left in the bottom of the pot, and popping slows down, around 3 minutes
  • Remove from heat and remove lid carefully to let steam escape.
  • Add salt and stir.
  • Microwave melting white chocolate according to package directions, being careful not to overcook.
  • Pour half of melted white chocolate over popcorn and stir.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY-ORANGE BARS



White Chocolate Cranberry-Orange Bars image

This is my take on my mother's recipe for chocolate chunk bars, which she made every Christmas Eve. Our family is scattered across the country now; making these reminds me of home. If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use two sharp knifes or a potato masher. My mom makes this with semisweet chocolate chunks. -Erin Powell, Amarillo, Texas
