Chocolate Lucky Charms Popcorn is fun to make and eat on movie nights. When combined with cereal, marshmallows, and candies, chocolate-covered popcorn becomes a charming treat.
If you love this cereal, then you have got to try these Lucky Charms cookies as well!
We have a new person in our house. His name is "I didn't do it". Sometimes, he even says, "It wasn't me".
All three kids have come to rely on him when something has happened that no one wants to claim. The problem is that "I didn't do it" and "It wasn't me" have been used so much lately that now everyone loses out when he shows up.
Losing technology is a great way to motivate "I didn't do it" to leave.
Who left the shower curtain open? "I didn't do it."
Who knocked over the shelf of books and videos? "It wasn't me."
Who ate all the marshmallows out of the cereal? "I didn't do it." "It wasn't me."
Hhhhmmm...I guess no one will be watching TV or playing video games for a very long time...or at least until this new person has left our house.
Gotta love in this day and age when losing technology is painful. It works better than any other punishment.
Luckily, I got to the box of Lucky Charms before anyone else this time. Those cute little marshmallows seem to disappear before anything else. Our boxes definitely never have enough of those fun marshmallows.
To entice everyone to eat the cereal, I covered it in white chocolate. Chocolate definitely makes everything better, even cereal.
Then, I tossed it with some chocolate-covered popcorn, those elusive marshmallows, and some green Sixlets. It is the perfect snack to munch on for movie night or whenever you have a sweet craving.
Feel free to use whatever chocolate you like on the popcorn. We like dark chocolate on this mix, but we also love the white chocolate on this Lucky Charms popcorn.
Just a warning: The marshmallows still disappear first in this, too. I'm guessing "I didn't do it" got to them first.
