Hot Cocoa Popcorn
Hot cocoa and popcorn.
Two of my favorite treats.
When I was little my family would take a road trip every summer. All the essentials would be packed:
- car TV with a VCR
- cooler with sandwiches for lunch
- swimsuits
- suitcases
- one sleeping bag for the floor (since there were 5 of us)
- and snacks, including cocoa and popcorn that we could heat up in a hotel room
These trips weren’t just a few hours of driving, I’m talking 18 hour trips to different destinations around the United States.
If getting things planned wasn’t stressful enough for my parents, then dealing with three kids (with a span of just 4 years from oldest to youngest) for those long hours in the car definitely did the trick!
Despite the literal and figurative bumps in the road, as an adult I they are so fun to look back on. We saw and did a lot!
This recipe for Hot Cocoa Popcorn has me thinking back to those days, combining two of my favorite snacks and the memories of family traditions.
It takes only 5 ingredients, and 15 minutes, leaving you more time for your own traditions!
