Popcorn Bar

There’s no denying it — awards season is in full swing. Whether you’re watching The Grammy Awards on Feb. 8 or The Oscars on Feb. 22, a popcorn bar is a fun and healthy way to add some excitement to your watch party. Dress your air popped popcorn up with spices, dried fruits, and nuts instead of buying flavored, store-bought popcorns. Not only is this a healthier snacking option, but children will love to choose their own favorite toppings and spoon them over their popcorn bag.

Kids Can Help:

• Fill the bags of toppings.
• Scoop the popcorn into bags.
• Choose their favorite toppings.

Toppings:

• Raw nuts
• Natural chocolate candies
• Dried coconut
• Dried fruit
• Freeze dried strawberries or blueberries
• Natural chocolate covered sunflower seeds
• Chia seeds
• Hemp seeds
• Cinnamon & sugar
• Parmesan cheese
• Nutritional yeast
• Cumin + garlic powder
• Dried basil + dried oregano + garlic salt
• Orange zest + white chocolate chips
• Nutritional yeast + dried basil + dried oregano
