It’s the Friday before Christmas and a little chilly outside so it’s time for a Christmas movie day!
What’s your favorite holiday flick?
Some families have traditions of watching the same movies every year, but we like to mix it up. Though of course whenever Christmas Vacation is on tv we’ll be watching.
If there ever was a quotable Christmas movie, it’s Christmas Vacation. Elf has some pretty great lines, but nothing can top “And why is the carpet all wet, Todddddddd?”
Anyway, movies aren’t complete without some popcorn and this recipe takes a standard bag of microwave popcorn and turns it into a slightly salted, creamy peanut butter dream.
The best part is its so simple!
The texture and flavor combination is riiiight on! crunchy, chewy, creamy, salty, sweet…each bite has got us verbally uttering YUM. :)
Plus Gluten-Free, Vegan Peanut Butter Popcorn makes a fabulous holiday nifty gifty treat.
You can also form the mix into balls. Do you remember popcorn balls? There was a lady in my neighborhood growing up who always made them for trick or treaters around Halloween. Homemade treats don’t really fly anymore but back in the day everyone booked it to her house.
