Peppermint White Chocolate Popcorn Mix is a refreshing snack mix for Family Movie Night.
I’m all about Christmas movies pretty much all year long. But from Thanksgiving on, it’s nonstop Christmas movies 24/7 at my place. Well from after work until bedtime and the weekends, but you know what I mean. This Peppermint White Chocolate Popcorn Mix is perfect for watching all your favorite movies.
My favorite treat while watching movies is popcorn with milk duds. Oh man I love going into the bucket not knowing if you’re getting popcorn or milk duds.
Then I tried some Raspberry White Chocolate Popcorn and my life has never been the same. It was like eating candy in popcorn form. Now I can’t eat it all the time, but for a special treat, like watching Christmas movies, this is my special treat. Because of the season, I made it with peppermint extract. It’s a refreshing taste and I like it.
I’ve added peanuts for the salty part and peppermint M&Ms just to add some color and more flavor. You can’t skip the Milk Duds. Just trust me.
