Crunchy popcorn, salty pretzels, and mini peanut butter cups covered in peanut butter caramel and generously drizzled with milk chocolate and peanut butter.

I’m partnering with Circulon® to bring you a fun Christmas treat. Thanks for supporting the companies that keep my blog running.

How is your December schedule looking? Is it crazy busy with all the Christmas stuff? Or are you able to enjoy all the extra, little blessings this month holds? It’s a battle isn’t it.

This year I’m trying to take a step back and breathe between all the extra events and obligations the month holds. According to Tyler, I’m not good at relaxing and being fully present in the moment. I tend to rush from one thing to planning and stressing for the next. Trying to change that this year.

You would think with a baking blog, I would be up on my Christmas cookie game. But I haven’t even thought about what I should make. And honestly, I may not make any. Gasp. I’m not going to stress over expectations I put on myself. I want to enjoy the little moments with my husband and baby. (Who is almost 1!)

I do have a few events where I need to bring a Christmas treat, so I’m probably going to make a few more batches of this easy popcorn to bring. It’s a fun peanut butter twist on traditional caramel popcorn with some mini pretzels and peanut butter cups thrown in. Super addicting.

Circulon® recently sent me a set of their new Circulon ® Ultimum Cookware to try. They’ve quickly become some of my favorites because they’re heavy duty (they heat up the bubbling caramel mixture nice and evenly.) And cleanup is a breeze. (The cooled caramel just peeled off the inside. No scrubbing required.) Follow them on social media for yummy recipes and product updates.

Also, be sure to head to their Facebook page for a chance to with an 11-piece Circulon ® Ultimum Cookware Set. Find the giveaway here.
