Can you all believe that the month of October starts this weekend?? It would be a bit of an understatement to say that I am just a tad excited. 

I have always been more of a fall kind of gal since I was a kid. There is just something about the smell of fall leaves, the crisp air, our annual pilgrimage to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch, and of course one of my favorite holidays of the year- Halloween! :) 

I just love everything about Halloween- the pumpkin carving, taking our youngest trick or treating, dressing up for my parents' annual costume party, and all the holiday inspired spooky recipes. In fact, I make it a goal of mine every fall to come up with a couple of new treats to bring to my parents' house for our family Halloween party.

This year I will be whipping up a batch of this crunchy & chewy Haunted Pumpkin Patch Popcorn Crunch. Candy pumpkins and ghost shaped sprinkles are tossed with peanut butter coated popcorn in this hauntingly addictive sweet treat for Halloween...

With the school year about to start back up for us, making time as a family is going to become a little more challenging. And with a three year old and a soon-to-be seventeen year old, finding something we can do together as a family and that we can all actually enjoy can become even more challenging. One thing that we do love to do together? Watch movies! :) 

That is why we try to plan a family movie night at least once a month. Whether it is heading to the theater to catch the new Fantastic Four movie or having a movie night-in, a family movie night is a guaranteed two hours or so of quality time together.

And what is a family movie night without the popcorn? Before our latest movie night-in, I headed to my local Walmart to pick up some of our favorite microwave popcorn- Pop Secret Homestyle Popcorn. While we love Pop Secret as is freshly popped from the microwave, sometimes I like to turn our favorite popcorn into a fun treat for the family. 

Since we are still trying to soak up and enjoy these last few days of summer break, I thought why not combine our favorite movie night popcorn with one of our summertime favorites, s'mores?
