The Perfect Nighttime Snack

An elegant glass vase filled with alternating layers of popcorn and milk duds, perfect for an evening treat!

Directions

1. Fill up on old, clear vase with the perfect nighttime snack — popcorn kernels and milk duds. Yes, a vase you already own is fine — especially the clear, glass ones that you get for free every time someone sends you flowers.
2. To add a “professional” look, alternate the milk duds & popcorn into alternating layers using aluminum foil after each layer as an invisible “shelf” so the layers don’t merge together and look messy. This is a great activity to do with your kids who will love to pour each layer and watch how the recipe “grows”.

 

This idea also works well (and is lovely) with a cookie dough recipe. Pick your favorite chocoloate chip cookie recipe, layer the flour, salt, baking soda, sugar, chocolate chips, & brown sugar etc. You won’t need to use the aluminum foil layers. Include a note to add the mixture with appropriate butter, vanilla, eggs etc. with rest of baking instructions.
