What the heck is VORP you ask? Well, we have all heard of GORP the synonym for Trail Mix, VORP is my version using leftover Valentine's Day Candy as one of the key ingredients.
Stacy of Food Lust People Love is hosting this month and invited us to use up (or buy on sale) leftover Valentine's Day candy. I happened to have some leftover Valentine's Peanut M&M's. Let's see what the others found to use in this challenge.....
- A Sweet-Cuterie Platter + Cupid's Blend Cookies from Culinary Cam
- Cinnamon Heart Imperial Liqueur from Food Lust People Love
- Double Chocolate Caramel Stuffed Cookies from Amy's Cooking Adventures
- Leftover Chocolate Cake Shake from Sneha's Recipe
- Peppermint Patty Brownie Bites from Karen's Kitchen Stories
- VORP from A Day in the Life on the Farm
I really cheated on this month's recipe. In fact, it's not even a recipe at all. When I went into the pantry to see what I had to add to my Valentine Peanut M&M's to turn them into a snack to take with me on my hikes, I spied this package of Salad Topping that contained glazed walnuts and dried cranberries. Perfect.
I opened the package and added it to the bowl holding the M&M's. I never did take it with me on a hike. I left it on the kitchen counter and every time one of us would walk by it we would grab a handful. Oh well, it's been too cold and snowy here in Michigan for a hike anyway LOL.....
So, no printable recipe to share today, just a simple suggestion to take whatever odds and ends you have, the last couple handfuls of candy, that half package of baking chips, the bottom of the bag of dried fruit, nuts, and/or seeds and combine them into a tasty, delicious and portable treat.
Have a Funday Sunday and stop by tomorrow for Muffin Monday where I share another idea for using up that leftover Valentine's Day candy.
I love this idea, Wendy! And because you used Peanut M&Ms, extra protein and nutrition!
