Movie theater popcorn

I know that I have left you all for quite a while but life has just gotten in the way and we’re REALLY making it up as we go now! Little mister made his debut 8 weeks ago and he is doing great, as are his 5, very doting, big sisters! I’ve started back to work, so every Saturday is now chores day and Sunday is family day! One of their favorite family day activities is family movies, on one of my more particularly lenient days, they came up with this masterpiece. With Halloween just around the corner, this is a good way to use all that free candy.

Now I always (since I was a little girl) put M&Ms in my popcorn- I love how the chocolate melts from the heat of the fresh popped popcorn, but the hard candy covering keeps it from getting everywhere. It’s the perfect sweet and salty blend.

So the girls went rooting through their candy bag in the pantry (a compilation of halloween, Easter, and Valentines candy all thrown together and not often touched) in search of M&Ms for their popcorn. Oh but they found so much more. 2EF6A03D-8CAB-496B-9C78-9B4F01E2D9EAWe called this movie theater popcorn, because it’s all your favorite concession stand favorites in one. In addition to M&Ms, they added sour patch kids, mini gummy bears, and Reece’s peeces. They loved the surprise every hand full brought and the sweet and salty together. Try it for your next family movie!

(As a side note, I made mine with the Reece’s peeces and M&Ms only and was in love ~ still the lovely meltyness from the heat and just a simple sweet and salty combo!)
