Dessert Popcorn Recipe

Buttery and salty popcorn is great and all.  But add the sweetness, chocolate and caramel for movie snack perfection!

The Milky Way Simply Caramel Bites are little nuggets of deliciousness hiding in this popcorn blend.  My daughter is a big fan of this munchie.  She keeps asking for more chocolaty popcorn.  Of course I make her more, because that means I get some too!

Pick out a classic flick.  Cover the floor with blankets and pillows.  Make this Sweet & Salty Popcorn.  And snuggle up with the kiddos for a fun family movie night!
