Caramel Chocolate Buttered Popcorn


We're wrapping up Mystery week here with Dum Dum's lollipops mystery flavor, buttered popcorn. And what goes best with a buttered popcorn lollipop? Popcorn, of course!

But not just any popcorn, no Ma'am (or Sir)! But popcorn with cocoa almonds, m&m's, pieces of buttered popcorn lollipops, pretzels, and a caramel and chocolate sauce drizzled all over it.

This is not your ordinary popcorn. This is popcorn taken to a whole new level. This is a popcorn dessert!

A mixture of sweet and salty, crunchy, chocolate and ooey gooey caramel. Popcorn will never be the same after you try this.

You're welcome!
