New Year’s Eve Popcorn

By A Cultivated Nest Team

Along with fun and friends, food has to be one of the best parts of New Year’s Eve!

You could choose to serve homemade appetizers, or snacks like this sparkly New Year’s Eve Popcorn!

This popcorn is so easy to make, you could probably whip it up right before your party starts! And it’d be easy to make more mid-party if you run out (which is very possible, as it’s so delicious)! You might also want to consider putting this popcorn in treat bags for people to take home and enjoy on New Year’s Day!

    Hi Manuela, this sounds delicious and I like that it uses chocolate instead of that bark fake kind of chocolate.
    We usually eat finger foods for NYEve and black eyed peas and cabbage for the 1st.

    Happy 2017 to you
