Do you love caramel popcorn? How about kettle corn? Me too – so much so that I had a hard time deciding which I would use for my latest popcorn recipe when planning our family movie time. So I decided to mix the two & add a little extra special too.
You see – I love to pick up a variety of flavors of Pop Secret when I’m at Walmart doing my weekly shopping. We try to have some sort of family time during the week & if it’s a movie, then it always involves popcorn.
Before my son got a job we would have family movie night on the weekends. Now he works until quite late on the weekend & so we have had to shift our movie time to week day afternoons. Which is fine with me – I just have to break away from the studio earlier. I usually grumble about having way too much to do but I’m always so happy once I’m finally sitting with my family & finding a little breather in my week.
RIGHT NOW: Buy any 3 Pop-Secret items between 7/31 – 8/31 and get a Free ticket to the Fantastic Four movie (up to $5) while supplies last!
Seems that the older my kids get the harder it is to get time with all 5 of us together. So I really cherish these times when we can make some goodies, gather around & enjoy each other’s company for a little while.
What’s your favorite thing to make for movie night?
