Lately I have been creating in the kitchen & not much in my craft room. But I finally had a few minutes and my daughter loves to help me make different things and this one was perfect. I love creating with essential oils cause they really do help and smell amazing ! You may have heard of using argan oil for hair but what bout using oils to make a vapor rub? We live in GA where the weather has been crazy and my little’s are either stuffy or have a runny nose ALWAYS. And this creation really helps and the kids actually let me use it !!! I use it to even the husband. So it’s a win win for me.

What You Need:

– 125 ML Mason Jar or any other glass jar that will seal and can hold more than 125ML

– 1/4 cup of Coconut Oil
– 1/4 cup of fractionated coconut oil (OR Grapeseed oil)
– 2 Tbsp of Beeswax
– 10 Drops of Doterras Breathe (AKA Easy Air) Essential Oil and 10 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil
-OR-
– 5 Drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil, 5 drops of Peppermint Essential oil, 10 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil

How To Create:

– Put your Coconut Oil and Beeswax into your mason jar

– Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until everything is melted

– Add your Fractionated coconut oil (or Grapeseed Oil) to the mix

– Add your Essential oils

-Stir

– Let sit to harden, you can leave it out overnight or you can place it in the freezer for 15- 20 MINS (once it’s removed from the freezer let it sit on the counter for about half an hour without the lid on, this will reduce any chance condensation)

SO easy and it’s amazing ya’ll !!! I was such a skeptic at first about Essential Oils but give it a try you won’t be sorry !

Let me know if you make it would love to hear the details ! thanks so much for coming by.

What you need:

Cooking Time:

20 Minutes

Cooling Time:

1 Hour

Servings:

Ingredients:

1 bag (Pop-Secret) Premium Popcorn

1 cup

(Hershey’s) Milk Chocolate Chips

¼ (Ghirardelli) Premium White Chocolate Baking Bar

½ stick Butter (or 4 tbsp.)

1 cup (Kraft) Jet-Puffed Marshmallows

1/3 cup (Smucker’s) Caramel Flavored Topping

2 cups (Uncle Ray’s) Mini Twists Pretzels

How To:

Instructions:

Follow the instructions on your bag of popcorn. Place in microwave, right side up, and heat until frequent popping noises subside. Open bag.

Set aside to cool.

Spread popcorn onto parchment paper. Add pretzels.

Add 1 cup chocolate chips to small microwavable bowl. Heat in microwave for 30

Seconds. Remove and stir. Microwave 1 to 2 times more at 30 seconds each time (stirring in between). Heating for short periods (such as 30 seconds at a time) and continuously stirring helps to ensure the chocolate does not burn. Remove from the microwave and stir until chocolate is completely smooth and silky. There may be a few air bubbles throughout.

Using a fork or spoon, begin to drizzle chocolate atop

Popcorn and pretzel mixture.

Repeat above process with white chocolate bar. Drizzle melted white chocolate atop popcorn mixture.

Drizzle caramel topping atop popcorn mixture.

On stovetop, in small pan, heat butter on low. Add marshmallows. Stir continuously until marshmallows have melted fully. Drizzle melted marshmallows atop popcorn mixture. Stir mixture with your hands (if so desired).

Carefully move parchment sheet with popcorn mixture into freezer. Let cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from freezer. Break apart sections. Plate and serve! And remember, it’s not a party unless popcorn is involved!
