What You’ll Need:

  • Microwave Popcorn*
  • Milk Duds candy
  • 1-2 T. milk

*You can use non-microwave popcorn if you want. You’ll need about 4-5 cups of popped popcorn.

Directions:

1. Pop a bag of microwave popcorn according to package directions. Pour it into a bowl and set aside.

2. Put 1/2 cup of Milk Duds into a microwave-safe bowl and add 1-2 Tablespoons of milk. Microwave on high for 1 minute and stir. The Milk Duds should be completely melted.

3. Drizzle the melted Milk Duds over the top of the popcorn. Allow the hot chocolate and caramel to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

What is your go-to snack for Movie Nights at home? Have you tried making Milk Duds Popcorn before? Give it a try, and let me know what  you think.

If you love adding candy to your popcorn, try my recipe for M&M Marshmallow Popcorn Balls.

Another one of my favorite popcorn recipes is this chocolate Peppermint Popcorn.

Celebrate National Popcorn Day on January 19 with a big bowl of caramel chocolate drizzled popcorn!

Keep the recipe in mind for Caramel Popcorn Day on April 7th, and National Popcorn Month in October.

A fun way to celebrate Star Wars Day (May the Fourth Be With You) is to have a Star Wars movie night. My kids want us to watch the latest Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens. We have only watched it a handful of times since it came out on DVD a few weeks ago.

Instructions
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Mix popped popcorn and pretzels and spread into an even layer on the baking sheet. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and corn syrup and stir to combine completely. Reduce heat to low and add marshmallows, stirring until they are completely melted. Immediately remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
  3. Carefully pour the marshmallow caramel mixture over the popcorn and pretzels. Gently stir to coat the popcorn and pretzels as evenly as possible. (It's sticky!)
  4. Stir in the M&Ms and licorice. Add salt to taste, if desired.
Recipe Notes

BB-8 Caramel Popcorn is best eaten the same day it is made. However, this popcorn can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. It will remain soft and sticky.
