Next game night, instead of having popcorn and candy, have candy popcorn instead! It’s sweet, spicy and salty all at once. And if it makes the wings hot, it will surely be hot for you! If they win, you are going to have to make it every time they play.
Popcorn on your mind? Try Notre Dame Popcorn, Hot Red Wings Popcorn or University of Michigan Popcorn. Can you tell I am from Michigan?

February 1, 2018 at 7:06 PMOnce upon a time, Hot Tamales were one of my favorite candies. I’ve had flavored popcorn before but never like this, it’s very creative. Thanks for joining us again at Celebrate Your Story, have a great weekend.
