Happy Happy Monday y’all!!!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, I definitely did. Finally went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em> movie which I personally liked, but the boyfriend wasn’t nearly as impressed haha.  I think he thought the best part was the movie popcorn and candy, which I’m totally down with, because a movie just isn’t the same without it.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

This is why I can’t stand going to see movies on non cheat days because it’s pretty torturous sitting there smelling all of that delicious popcorn and seeing the candy when you get to sit there pouting<\/del> and not getting to have any.  It is totally a tradition for us to get the huge popcorn, and I sneak<\/del> bring in one of those giant bags of Reese’s Pieces or Peanut M&M’s (don’t tell on me to the theaters hehe) and we’ll pour the bags of candy into the popcorn, mmmm.  Sweet and salty as I have mentioned a gazillion times is hands down my favorite combo, so even if a movie turns out to be poo, at least we have totally awesome snack foods.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

Enjoying this delicious combo regularly at the theater over the years got me thinking about a homemade spin that included all of the peanut buttery goodness and crunch of our ‘creation’ at the theater.  I decided it should be a peanut butter base on the popcorn and then there definitely needed to be the added crunch of some mini M&M’s, and because I love peanut butter, I thought some extra peanut butter chips could be thrown in as well.

OMG y’all, this popcorn turned out to be freaking fantastic! It is sooo rich, but you’ll fool yourself into thinking that you’ll have just a little bite,  but you will just keep going back for more and a little bit more and then you will look up and it will all be eaten haha.  This popcorn is crunchy, with all the flavor of peanut butter and the little chocolate bits of the M&M’s is just wonderfully decadent.  This is a must make, and it’s pretty darn easy to throw together too.  I hope you all have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!!!
