Reeses Popcorn Munch

There is a debate that goes on in our household
every year about this time.
It is the question of,
what color lights go on our tree?
Unfortunately I am the only one who wants white lights,
so that makes me the bad guy.
This year my husband wanted to put the white lights on…
and then put the colored lights on too.
Now in my head this sounded like a bad idea,
but no way was I going to admit that.
We put the white lights on and I went
to get the colored strand when he stopped me.
He was only half kidding.
The other half just wanted to see if I would concede!
Major bonus points for actually being willing
to go through with something that I wasn’t
entirely happy with it.
My snowman tree is very happy with this decision too…
they were getting scared of a huge colored mess:-)
Speaking of a huge colored mess…
how about some REESES popcorn munch?
Any treat that consists of THREE kinds of chocolate
and THREE kinds of Reeses is an A+ in my book.
This is definitely going on my Christmas treat list.
I sure hope all my friends and family like Reeses:-)
because they are getting cute packages of this amazing popcorn!!!
(The striped popcorn boxes are from Michaels craft store.)

  1. Holy Reese’s Batman! I love it, and I’m sure the kids will too!

  2. Oh YUM! I love Reeses anything…I love the addition of the cereal. I’m white lights all the way…although I have a strand of only red ones because red’s my favorite :)

  3. Awesome! I will be pinning this later today! I actually have a pinboard devoted to Peanut Butter and Chocolate!

  4. Well good morning there, chocolate and peanut butter! :) I’m a bigger fan of plain white lights, too. Luckily nobody argues with me about it. lol!

  10. When I was a kid there was no debate about Christmas lights as the lights were the same size as the lights which hung outside; Big. Anything with Reeses is golden in my book

    Blessings, Lori m

  12. This looks soooo good! I love “souped up” popcorn :) One year I took colored lights and put them on the inside of the tree – down the middle with white lights on the outside…it was pretty! Now I try to have 2 trees, so I don’t have to decide!

  13. oh i make a version of this but never tried Reesees…

  14. Hopping over from Whipperberry.

    My 4 year old doesn’t like chocolate, except for kitkats and reese’s… this would be perfect. I am pinning this for him to make with me:)

  15. I’m really not much of a fan of reeses but i LOVE how you’ve written your blog posts – they’re almost like poetry! Very clever and original!

  16. Kill me now! That sounds incredible. My kids love popcorn and Reese’s, so I’m thinking I need to make this for them…that’s if I don’t eat it all first!

  22. Another winner! Just curious – do you use microwave popcorn?

    • Jocelyn Brubaker says:

      We actually have a whirly pop and pop our own popcorn, but you could definitely use microwave popcorn in this. I just would choose a variety with less butter!

  23. i’m SO glad you linked back to this stuff on FB Jocelyn! Holy heck! I wouldn’t be able to stop munching on this! Everything I love in one munchy recipe :)
