Oreo Popcorn Recipe

One of the things that I’ve appreciated most about living in Missouri, has been how much family time this assignment has afforded us. With there not being a whole lot to do in our general vicinity, we’ve found ourselves taking advantage of our time together at home.
Back in Kansas, the girls had a neighborhood full of friends to play with and there seemed to be plenty of things to do around Fort Riley. Here, not so much.
Instead, we find ourselves having lots of family game and movie nights. And what would a movie night be without tasty snacks like cookies and popcorn?!But why stop there?! When combined, this oreo popcorn recipe takes your average movie night snack up a notch, adding a delicious chocolate and Oreo flavor combo.
