    Birthday Cake Popcorn

    Birthday Cake Popcorn RecipeMy baby turns one this week. I don't know where the last year has gone, but all of a sudden, she's not such a baby any more. It's exciting to watch my kids grow up and see them turning into their own person with their own personalities and interests.Birthday Cake Popcorn Recipe

    It's also a little heartbreaking. I want to hang onto every moment with them, but it seems like the harder I try to make time slow down, the faster it goes.Birthday Cake Popcorn Recipe

    So, I have to find ways to enjoy the time that I get to spend with them.  They love to help out in the kitchen, so I try to make easy treats, like this Birthday Cake Popcorn recipe, with them.Birthday Cake Popcorn Recipe

    Sprinkling the nonpareils over the popcorn is a job that's custom made for little ones. And then you get to share a bowl of yummy popcorn that tastes like birthday cake!

        5 stars
        A 3 ounce package will make about 8-9 cups of popped popcorn. Hope that helps! =)
