Movie night is a favorite at our house. There is the anticipation of kicking back, relaxing, and enjoying the presence of those around you in complete comfort. After the excitement of selecting the perfect movie, picking out just the right candy, popping corn, and claiming your seat, comes the mad dash to get the right throw.

Movie candy favorites…
Popcorn favorites, the kids love making Jiffy pop on the stove. If we are out, we pop the corn in our pot on the stove.
