Peppermint Sprinkle Popcorn + Sprinkles Cookbook Review

Peppermint Sprinkle Popcorn

Not too long ago, I told you about my obsession with glitter.  My friend Jennie from The Messy Baker left a comment saying glitter is like sprinkles for the face.  While few things trump my love of glitter, I have been a fan of sprinkles since I was a little girl.

Mom never quite understood my love of sprinkles, saying she’s not a sprinkle fan.  Shocking, I know!  But I more than made up for her sprinkle-less life.  I requested sprinkles on every scoop of ice cream and loved decorating cookies with them.  My love continues today with two different Funfetti cookie recipes here on my blog.  I know Funfetti cake is destined to be in my future too.

Peppermint Sprinkle Popcorn

Peppermint Sprinkle Popcorn

When I was offered the opportunity to review Sprinkles! by Jackie Alpers, I jumped at the chance.  A whole cookbook full of colorful sprinkle covered recipes?  Yes, please!

The book did not disappoint.  Although my copy did get a little chewed up in the mail 🙁  The Confetti Layer Cake is calling my name. I also love how Jackie worked sprinkles into breakfast, from waffles and pancakes to the syrup that covers them.  The Orange Dreamsicle Cookies are beautiful, and there’s even a recipe for homemade sprinkles.  Many different kinds of sprinkles are utilized too, which is awesome.

Sprinkles The Cookbook

The Sweetheart Party Popcorn really stood out to me, so I remixed it just in time for the holidays.  Peppermint Sprinkle Popcorn is the perfect hostess gift or party snack.  It’s easy to make, full of flavor and texture, and gluten free!  The peppermint is so refreshing and the sprinkles add not only a pop of color, but also some needed crispy-crunchy texture.  If you need more sprinkles in your life (and who doesn’t?!?) check out this book and recipe!

    I don’t really like sprinkles that much either-I think they’re pretty but they don’t taste that good.

    How can one NOT BE A SPRINKLES FAN?! It just doesn’t make sense. I’m a bit sprinkle-obsessed. So this popcorn is a MUST.

    Ashley loves sprinkles so I will pass this recipe on to her for sure. She calls them jimmies at least on icecream. This popcorn looks fun along with delicious! Great idea….

      Jimmies are a kind of sprinkles – what I used in this recipe, actually! Thanks, Debbie!

    Someone gave me brownies with glitter on top. It is called Disco Dust, and they ordered it in different colors off the web. It made all the Christmas treats sparkle.

    Oh but you haven’t tried the sprinkles they sell at whole foods.
    You might like those better as they are all natural.
