Almost three weeks ago we welcomed the arrival of the fifth member of our family, a super sweet baby girl, and as you can imagine, our lives are a little chaotic right now. From marathon feedings to endless dirty diapers, we are definitely back in the baby trenches again! As crazy as my life is right now, I try to remember that my other kids are also experiencing a radical shift in their day to day lives as well. They’ve been so loving and patient with their baby sister (and sleep deprived mother) that I thought it would be fun to have a special movie night with the Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie. And since no movie night is complete without popcorn, I made up this super quick and easy 10 Minute Salty Sweet Popcorn for them to munch on!
My kids are both big fans of Captain Underpants and were super excited when they found out that the popular book series was being made into a movie. If you’re new to the Captain Underpants world let me assure you that this movie is absolutely great for kids. The friendship between the main characters and the resulting creativity that emerges as a result translates wonderfully from the pages of the books to the big screen. The Captain Underpants DVD will be available in Walmart stores 9/12! Be sure to reserve your copy now by pre-ordering today! While supplies last.
Since we’ve got a new baby in the house, recipes have to be super easy or they just aren’t getting made. Luckily, this 10 Minute Salty Sweet Popcorn recipe fulfills that requirement, plus all the ingredients can easily be purchased at Walmart! To make this delicious treat begin by popping a bag of Pop Secret 10 ct Movie Theatre Butter Popcorn in your microwave. We love the better ingredients, inventive flavors, and delicious buttery taste! While the popcorn is heating up, opening two packages of Lance Captain’s Wafers Peanut Butter & Honey Crackers and chop them into small bite size portions. These Lance crackers are absolute lifesavers for this on-the-go family – flavorful, wholesome, filling and portable. Plus the variety packs make sure everyone is happy, no small feat in this family full of picky eaters!
Once the popcorn is popped and the crackers are chopped, follow the recipe below to heat the maple syrup and butter in a saucepan to create the sweet coating that will be poured over the rest of the ingredients. Use a spatula to mix completely before spreading popcorn on a jelly roll sheet and baking at 300 degrees for 5 minutes.
