This sweet and salty treat, great to munch on. Also cute for gifting. Very easy using Your favorite movie theater candy. But dont forget the popcorn ;) I worked at a movie theater when I was 17, I used the most popular candy that I sold. I picked up My candy at the dollar store and used of course movie theater microwave popcorn. Total cost a few dollars and can make approximatly 6-8 servings.

    Press down in pan. Let sit till set. Approximatly 30min. Either break up or I cut into squares. Keep in cover plastic container. Or bag in cellophane for gifting. I have made a few baskets for teenagers with theater candy, movies, movies tickets etc. Wish I still had pics. For My Daughter I actually made her 12th Birthday a movie party. Had popcorn machine, rented movies, gave theater bark for party favors. Very easy and reasonable. Have fun doing Your own thing.
