Popcorn Popping




Popcorn is like the year-round snack. You eat it while playing games, watching movies, eating at Wingers (sorry-had to throw that in), watching fire works, and just hanging with friends and family. My cousin gave me this recipe for flavored popcorn that is yummy. I made some today for Valentine treats, but am thinking by just changing the flavor of Jell-O, you can make them for any holiday/season. How fun!
