perfect Holiday snacking
Every Friday we have movie night and we are always looking for snacks and desserts to make for the night. We often have popcorn, but love to jazz it up a bit with candy or chocolate (like White Chocolate M&M Popcorn or Caramel Marshmallow Popcorn). Around Halloween, when fall candies are in abundance, we decided to try a Halloween snack mix with popcorn, cereal, nuts, and candy! It’s a modification of our White Trash recipe and the kids went nuts (pun intended 😉 ) for it! It comes together quickly and then just needs time to set, so plan ahead, or start the movie while you wait. 😉 Add it to a Halloween Charcuterie Board or Halloween Candy Charcuterie Board for an even bigger spread, and enjoy!
