Hey guys, today I’m over at Evermine’s blog sharing this incredibly-super-simple-even-my-6 1/2 year-old-could-make-it Patriotic Popcorn!

Okay, so popcorn is like my all time favorite snack food. Scoot over Cheetoes, step aside Hershey’s Kisses – it’s just me and you popcorn, and I’m not sharing with anybody!

Seriously, on our movie nights, Josh knows that if he wants any popcorn, he’s going to have to snack dirty. And he does. He grabs huge handfuls while I pretend to not notice and not care…but honestly, it vexes me.

But this popcorn is not your typical salty bowl kerneled snack food. This popcorn is sweet. The kernels are coated in a yummy, velvety white chocolate and then tossed with blue and red M&M’s. These make adorable goody bags for all the youngsters at your 4th of July party. Each kid gets a bag and they can happily munch (and not share with anyone) while they delight in all the fireworks.

Sounds kind of perfect, right?
