Get Your Candy Fix on Movie Night!

Since we moved into the new apartment we have been having movie nights at least once a week. And we all know that movie nights are nothing with out popcorn and candy. But who wants to feed the kids all that sugar? Plus, once the sugar high hits, movie night ends.. cause they won't sit still (well at least thats what happens in my house).

I've come up with DIY popcorn bowls that pleases even the sweetest of sweet tooth.

  • Each person gets their own personal popcorn container filled half way. I recommend these Sur La Table ones
  • Put out an assortment of the kids (and yours!) favorite candies in small bowls *this helps limit the amount of candy they can add.
  • Use a teaspoon as candy scoops *this limits the amount of candy they add

Let them add a little of whatever they like to the popcorn container. Trust me.. I've used this on my daughter and she definitely feels like she's getting to eat all the candy she wants! 

Sweet and salty never tasted this good!!
