Want to know what it is???
I talk to myself. Like all the time. And not a silent whisper either.
Oh, it’s a whisper…just kind of out loud 🙂
My husband and my kids always like to let me know when it happens.
They think it is super hilarious to stand behind me
and listen to me go on and on.
Ok, fine it probably is.
The other day I was driving somewhere on some sort of errand.
Who am I kidding, I was probably going one of 2 places.
The grocery store for more baking goodies or Goodwill for fun photo props.
Oh wait, it could have been Target…just because…
because really I don’t need a reason to go there other than I love the place.
Anyway, where doesn’t matter.
Apparently I was having one of those strange conversations with myself
because my youngest piped up and said, “Mom, are you talking to yourself again?”
“I can talk to you if you want.”
Isn’t he the cutest?
Yes, I am well aware what a dork this makes me sound like.
Hey, just keeping it real here.
Honestly I can’t even tell you what I talk to myself about…
I think sometimes my brain can’t keep up with whatever I am thinking
and it just comes out. I think it is mostly recipe stuff, what I have to do, what I want to do,
what I would say in situations…you know, normal stuff.
Ok, let’s move onto a better habit that I have 🙂
I like to make chocolate covered popcorn !!! Like a lot!
So far there are 5 different versions on my recipe page,
this makes #6…and I have ideas for a few more:-)
Hope you all like this stuff as much as I do.
This one just might be my all time favorite one…
and that’s saying a lot because I made a Reese’s Popcorn a while ago that kicks some butt!!!
But this one…oh this one…was so good it just melted in your mouth!
If you are in the market for a sugar high…I recommend going this route.
It was definitely monsterously delicious!!!
Oh, the Biscoff, the oatmeal, the cookie dough bites, M&M’s, chocolate chips…
all your favorite cookie stuff in one popcorn bowl.
Now I have myself convinced to make another batch 🙂
I suggest making this one this weekend.
Although you just might want to double the batch…
since I guarantee you will eat the first one all by yourself as soon as you taste it.
Not that I would know anything about that though! Wink, wink!
Chocolate and Biscoff covered popcorn with all the toppings of a monster cookie added in.
Ingredients
- 7 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup M&M’s
- 1 cup cookie dough bites candy
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
- 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon shortening
- 1/3 cup Biscoff cookie spread
- 1/2 cup quick oats
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the white chips and the shortening. Heat for 30 seconds and stir. Continue heating 20-30 seconds at a time and stirring until melted. Add the Biscoff spread and stir until melted and creamy. Stir in the oats. Let cool for 3-4 minutes.
- In a large bowl combine the popcorn and marshmallows. Pour the melted chocolate on top and toss until everything is coated. Add the cookie dough bites, m&m’s and the chocolate chips and toss lightly again. Pour the popcorn out on a large wax paper lined tray. Place in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to set up. Take out and break into chunks. Store in a tightly sealed bag or container.

Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
July 27, 2012 at 2:33 PMI talk to myself too! ALL the time. I like to call it “thinking out loud.” 🙂 This popcorn…Jocelyn I think you’ve outdone yourself this time!!!!
Ellen B Cookery says
July 27, 2012 at 3:28 PMHere’s to another wonderful recipe. You’re amazing and by the way, talking to yourself, NORMAL!
Jocelyn says
July 27, 2012 at 3:42 PMIt’s good to know you guys think talking out loud is normal:-). Thanks!
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel says
July 27, 2012 at 3:32 PMYep, this is my new favorite popcorn munch of yours, too! I am freaking.out over the cookie dough bites and the biscoff–I think I could polish it off pretty quickly, but that’s just because your popcorn munches always look SO awesome! And no fear, doll–I talk to myself ALL the time too! Like, legitimate conversations. Usually it’s a little lower than a normal conversation, almost like a louder mumble, but it’s mostly about ideas, recipes, where I have to run errands, what outfits that belt would go with, where I could store those plates, etc. And it’s everywhere, but usually more embarrassing in stores when I’m talking to the shirt saying “well I could wear it with those black pants, or that polka dot skirt…” hahaha so funny!
Jocelyn says
July 27, 2012 at 3:45 PMI definitely recommend making a double batch for that very reason! It will just disappear:-). Your convos to yourself sound just like mine!!! Glad I’m not the only one who does it in stores too;-)
Erin says
July 27, 2012 at 4:07 PMOMG! This looks wonderful! Another excellent creation we have to make. I will eat the entire batch – yikes!
Lisa says
July 27, 2012 at 10:24 PMSo I say to myself, “Make this girlfriend!” and I answer “Sounds good to me!” LOL!
Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl says
July 28, 2012 at 12:08 AMDon’t fear, I self-talk also. Like, alot. But the worst is when I’m at work, with my earbuds in and start having a conversation with myself…forgetting that my coworkers can’t hear my music, but can in fact, hear me. Embarassing! Yet…I keep doing it. =) And this popcorn munch?!?! With cookie dough bites and Biscoff?? I NEED THIS NOW!
Jocelyn says
July 28, 2012 at 9:06 PMI am feeling much better knowing that you guys have this crazy habit too:-) I’m sure people look at me funny in the stores because sometime I forget others are around! Any yes, you need this popcorn STAT!
Michele {The Scrap Shoppe} says
July 28, 2012 at 1:17 AMOh yum… this look so good, Jocelyn! Can’t wait to make some!
I talk to myself in the car. Mostly naughty things about other drivers though. I have to watch myself when my boys are in the car with in. 😉
Dawn says
July 28, 2012 at 2:25 PMI love that your son said he would talk to you 🙂 Too cute and this popcorn looks ridiculously yummy

rscowtown says
July 28, 2012 at 7:42 PMI talk to myself all the time, and told hubby just today while we were going to the Restore for me to buy stuff to recycle, that when I am older and in the nursing home, i will be talking to myself even more, and might write a book about it, cuz i can come up with some fun stuff.
Thanks for the cool recipe! Gotta tryit!

August 7, 2012 at 7:07 PMWhat is Biscoff cookie spread?
Jocelyn says
August 10, 2012 at 7:11 PMIt is a creamy spread made from cookies and cinnamon. I buy it in Walmart by the peanut butter. But be careful…it is very addicting:-)
Chloe says
August 8, 2012 at 6:40 PMThis looks so yummy! Also I just want to let you know that I think your pink bowls are absolutely adorable!! Where did you get them?!
Jocelyn says
August 10, 2012 at 7:07 PMThank you:-) I found the pink bowls at Target earlier this summer!!!
Morgan says
October 17, 2012 at 3:29 AMHI! I am making this in 2 days but I am not sure where to find Biscoff? Is it carried at grocery stores? Thanks!
Tasha says
December 13, 2012 at 10:22 AMI have never seen Biscoff here in Canada. (never even heard of it until I started to read food blogs!) Do you think it would work just as well with something like Nutella? Is that the same consistency?
Jocelyn says
December 13, 2012 at 10:45 AMBiscoff is a cookie spread. The consistency is like peanut butter. Nutella should work too…hhhmmm…you have just given me some more ideas:-)
Laurie says
December 26, 2012 at 9:33 PMThis sounds insanely awesome. This is the first time I’ve heard of Cookie Dough candy. Do most grocery stores carry it? I’m afaid that “slimming down” is not going to make it onto my New Year’s resolution list. But the good news is that trying all of your recipes will probably be right up there at the top!! One other question, would omitting the oats significantly alter the awesomeness of this recipe? Thanks for all of your inspiring ideas! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
December 26, 2012 at 10:26 PMHi, Laurie. I have a feeling “slimming down” isn’t going to happen very fast here either. I found the Cookie Dough candy bites at Walmart in the candy aisle. It is in a movie theatre style box. And leaving the oats out won’t change it too much. Happy New Year to you as well:-)
Ruthie says
January 31, 2013 at 9:38 AMWow…. this looks delightful! Like a ton of fun for a movie night 🙂 Ruthie
Jocelyn Brubaker says
January 31, 2013 at 12:19 PMThanks Ruthie. This one is seriously so addicting too…better make a big batch for the movie!
chasetity says
January 31, 2013 at 11:10 AMwill microwave popcorn work?
Jocelyn Brubaker says
January 31, 2013 at 12:11 PMYes, I think that would work just fine. Hope you like it!!!
Chelsea {Whatcha Makin' Now?} says
February 2, 2013 at 12:39 PMYou are so creative! This looks absolutely delicious!
Nikaa Wombacher says
June 18, 2013 at 7:11 PMWhat is . biscoff cookie spread
Jocelyn Brubaker says
June 18, 2013 at 7:33 PMIt is a cookie spread made from Biscoff cookies. They sell it at Walmart and Target by the peanut butter.
MaryW says
May 25, 2014 at 6:48 PMI’ve never heard of Cookie Dough Candy. Dare I ask what that is, exactly?
Jocelyn Brubaker says
May 26, 2014 at 4:54 PMThey are little cookie dough bites covered in chocolate. You can buy them at Walmart or movie theaters.
