Party Popcorn

The kids and I are absolutely obsessed with popcorn. It’s our go to snack and a must have for movie night. While we usually just go with simple air popped drizzled with a little butter and sprinkled with salt, sometimes we like to mix it up and get a little crazy. I’m usually more of a savory

You guys, this Caramel Cashew Chex Mix is seriously addicting. I’m just going to apologize right now because you will be eating this by the handfuls. Then you’ll look down and the container will be half gone. And you’ll be like “what the what?” where did all my chex mix go? Then you’ll give the
