Ever go to the movies and buy candy and popcorn? {of course you do!} Ever eat them together?
Mr. disorganized introduced me to this concept when we were dating. In fact, it’s the same concept behind these cookies.
Best idea ever. Ever.
If you have a family, you probably do a movie night once in a while. We do. Ok, well, we don’t do it as often as we used to. When the kids were younger, it was so easy for everyone to agree on what to watch.
We seem to agree less and less now that they’re older.
But there is one thing we do agree on. Movie Theater Popcorn.
I mean, if one candy mixed with buttered popcorn is good, then three candies is much better, right?
Of course it is!

- 1/4 C gummy bears
- 1/4 C Milk Duds

Instructions
