Pregnancy Food Craving: Fried Chicken

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by KFC through their partnership with POPSUGAR Select. While I was compensated to write a post about KFC Popcorn Nuggets, all opinions are my own.

Let's talk about one of my latest and favorite pregnancy cravings. Fried Chicken. Now, I'm from Georgia and have had some really really good fried chicken in my life. I definitely don't want to be let down on some crummy stuff when I have a craving for it! 

So where have I been visiting lately? KFC. They have these tasty little Popcorn Nugget pieces that hit the spot every time. Their Go Cups® give me Popcorn Nuggets with a side of potato wedges and it fits right in my cup holder. Total win.

Now, everyone has take out nights. Those nights you don't want to cook and you end up ordering something, usually the same thing as you ordered last time, and picking it up for dinner. Well, I can tell you that your family is probably tired of it! It's time to get nuggets! And not just any nuggets. No one wants the pressed, formed nuggets that aren't even tasty. It's time for a Nugget-vention! Your kids will be thanking you if you get the 100% white meat Popcorn Nuggets from KFC. They're real chicken, that's crunchy and in fun, bite-sized pieces your whole family will love. 





Try KFC's Popcorn Nuggets for a kids Birthday party, sleepover, or your next meal on the go. The bucket and boxes are perfect for a picnic or the ball field! 


Grab KFC Popcorn Nuggets on their own to share, in a $5 Fill Up, or a fun Go Cup®! Any way you look at it, you're going to have some happy kids. Or pregnant wife

Stilettos and Diapers: Rice Krispies Treats Truffles #Kreatemyhappy


Rice Krispies Treats have long been a favorite of mine. The individually wrapped ones are a go to if I need a fun snack in case of a sweet tooth. A cool thing about the Rice Krispies Treats, is that they're so versatile. You can top them, dip them, use them in recipes, or just eat them plain! Today, though, I'm sharing my favorite way to eat them and that's as Rice Krispies Treats Truffles. 

Stilettos and Diapers: Rice Krispies Treats Truffles #Kreatemyhappy

They make for an elegant looking dessert, without being a big fuss to make. You end up with something like a box of chocolates, with different flavors in each little truffle. 

To start, I use packaged Rice Krispies Treats, cut in half. Each individual treat makes 2 truffles.

12 Rice Krispies Treats, individually wrapped bars

1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Gently flatten 1/2 Rice Krispies Treats bar. Place 4-5 pecan pieces inside, followed by a drizzle of caramel sauce. Roll into a ball and dip in melted almond bark. When almost solid, put a little caramel sauce on the back of a pecan and press onto top of truffle. 

S'mores Truffles:

Peanut Butter Truffles:

Mix together peanut butter, powered sugar and vanilla. Evenly split into 6 portions and flatten each portion out. Set aside. Roll 1/2 Rice Krispies Treats bar into ball. Wrap ball with peanut butter mixture, rolling in hands until completely covered. Dip in melted almond bark. Immediately top with one peanut butter M&M. 

I just make one variety at a time, so I don't end up topping one the wrong way. It's hard to tell what kind each one is before the toppings are on! Another tip, is if you microwave your Rice Krispies Treats for about 10 seconds before you add ingredients or try to shape them, they are a little bit easier. It may seem like a lot of ingredients, but I'm willing to bet you have most of them in your pantry. You don't need much of each thing!
