Thanks to Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP for sponsoring this post! All opinions are 100% my own.
Now that Spring is officially upon us (and our weather seems to have finally gotten on board too), we are finally starting to lighten up our eating. What is it about the warmer temps that automatically make me want to ditch the warm, creamy comfort foods of winter and dive right into fresh veggie-packed salads and grill out? That and I saw the ice cream man on Saturday so naturally it’s time to officially put winter behind us.
With lightening up our meals, we also tend to lighten up our snacking and popcorn is always a go-to for us. Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP just released a few new flavors and I recently tried the new Chile Lime flavor and it’s amazing! It tastes very similar to a chili lime seasoning blend we use on chicken for tacos and things like that. Not spicy (at least to my spicy loving taste buds) but still has a nice flavor to it that you wouldn’t typically expect on popcorn.
We also tried the Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn which is absolutely amazing. If you like kettle corn, this will be your new bff. We’ve tried kettle corn from other brands, the State Fair, etc. and this stuff is the best. I personally love digging through the bag for the extra sugary pieces. But, ya know, that’s just me. 🙂
Like many other Moms, I try to watch the ingredients in the food we eat and l love that Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP‘s Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn is non-GMO, free of high fructose corn syrup and gluten free. No fake ingredients and a good, whole grain snack. Now don’t get me wrong, we have our fair share of processed foods but if we can avoid it, that is certainly my preference. It’s also 70 calories a cup so it’s a snack I feel good about having if I’m craving something crunchy. However, fair warning, it’s next to impossible to stop eating at just 1 cup. Tyler and I literally sat down on the couch with a bag and were watching TV and nearly polished off a whole bag. Whoops!
While the popcorn is obviously great by itself, I made a fun “Munch Mix” for when you just want something to yummy to munch on. It’s also a fun option compared to typical snacks. I literally just combined a bag of the Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn with chocolate candy and pretzel sticks.
It’s also super simple and takes all of a minute to put together. If you can open a bag you can handle this so get to snacking!
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of Sweet and Salty Kettle corn
- 1 bag of chocolate candy
- 1/4 bag of pretzel sticks
Instructions:
Simply dump everything in a large mixing bowl and use your hands to combine all ingredients. Set it out at a get together or simply just for you and your family to snack on for a movie night and enjoy!
