Movie Night Candy Coated Licorice with Popcorn
Movie Night Candy Coated Licorice with Popcorn Treats| It’s movie night! What is your favorite treat to eat while you watch a movie. Mine is red licorice (Red Vine not Twizzler) and popcorn. So…I thought….Hmmm…..why not combine the two? I love the sweet and salty combo. When eaten together the popcorn tastes like candy popcorn and is a special treat.

ANOTHER MOVIE NIGHT TREAT IDEA
This is kind along the same lines as the licorice and popcorn. Have you ever had candy corn and popcorn? When eaten together it tastes just like caramel corn! SO GOOD! Sooo….HOW ABOUT A POPCORN TREAT BAR? You know how much I like a bar. If you have a popcorn machine then this is even better….if you don’t….no big deal. Pour the popped popcorn into a large bin with a scoop. Have either lunch bags, pop corn bags or popcorn bowls. Add an assortment of add ins (treats) for your guests to sprinkle over their popcorn. Like, mini M&M’s, candy corn, sprinkles, red licorice (Red Vine not Twizzler) cut into 1-inch pieces, peanuts…you get the idea. You’re guests will LOVE this idea.
