Campfire Popcorn!

Campfire popcorn…sounds fun doesn’t it?  Whether you love to camp, glamp, or just pretend in the backyard, adding popcorn to the mix enhances the adventure!  When my boys were little we used to have plenty of backyard “camping trips”…however, I’m not sure anyone ever lasted in the tent all night!  We don’t pitch the tent outside anymore but we do enjoy many evenings by the fire pit and recently had a blast popping corn right over the flames!  There’s something exciting and a little nostalgic about cooking over a campfire.  It can bring back those memories of long summer nights and simple fun!  So today I’m really excited to partner with Grand Rapids Popcorn to share this joyful way to spend a summer evening under the stars and moon with family and friends!  Get the fire roaring…and see how much fun campfire popcorn can be!

i love things that make any kind of celebrating easier and all in one place!

the kit comes with a “snippet” to open the bag so if you’re really camping, you don’t need to bring scissors!  (it even has a magnet to store it right on the popper so it won’t get lost!)

in addition to the kit, i created a comfy area in the yard to enjoy the evening…a blanket & toss pillows will do the trick!

a crate makes a casual surface to hold the goodies right on the ground…

    This is so much better than those foil ones I’ve tried that always burn. What a fun idea for a campfire. Now I can have my popcorn anywhere!!
