We like to have at least 2 movie nights at home with the family. Whether we find something on Netflix, or a free Amazon Prime movie, or we scour the selection of movies we already have at home, it’s a fun way to get our family together for a night of fun. And no movie night is complete without snacks!
I was introduced to Gaslamp Popcorn at an event I attended here locally and fell in love with their product. It was tasty, light, and had a great flavor. Plus they’re a California-based company! Who doesn’t love to support local companies? And the best part? When I reached out to see if they were interested in donating some bags of popcorn to my son’s school Golf Tournament, they went above and beyond and shipped enough popcorn to fill all of the golfers swag bags plus more to serve at the family picnic after the tournament. How’s that for local support?
So when they reached out about a new flavor they’d just released and asked if I’d like to try a few bags, I couldn’t turn them down. And boy is the new Malibu Mix from Gaslamp Popcorn a hit with my family!
Malibu Mix is a new fusion flavor which combines the company’s signature Sea Salt & Olive Oil, White Cheddar and Kettle Corn flavors. If you’re looking looking for a light, flavorful and delicious snack that delivers a sweet, salty and savory treat containing half the calories typically found in traditional popcorn mixes, then you need to try this mix!
Each batch is made with non-GMO corn that stands on the promise of being gluten-free, no exceptions.
I may or may not have finished off a bag of this deliciously salty sweet popcorn with my kids in an afternoon while we did homework. It’s that good! And the salty sweet flavor combo goes perfect with the movie night popcorn bark we created. So good! I highly suggest picking up a bag the next time you’re at the grocery store!
Movie Night Popcorn Bark
- 16 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1 cup Gaslamp Popcorn Malibu Mix
- 1 cup pretzels
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate
Prepare a 1/2 sheet baking pan with parchment paper lining.
Melt semisweet chocolate using double boiler method until smooth. Pour chocolate onto parchment paper in pan and spread out with spatula.
While still warm and melted, sprinkle popcorn and pretzels over chocolate. Press in to ensure it’s in the chocolate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow chocolate to set.
While chocolate is setting, melt dark chocolate using the same double boiler method. When chocolate is set, remove from fridge and use a spoon to drizzle melted dark chocolate over the bark.
Once the dark chocolate has set, lift parchment paper out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut the bark into oddly shaped pieces.
Store bark in an airtight container for up to 3 days to enjoy!
This looks delicious!
