Well, it’s now officially the most wonderful time of the year! The holiday season is now in full-swing and that means plenty of Hollywood blockbuster movies have been hitting the nation’s cinemas the past few weeks. Surely, plenty of people will be packing their local movie theatres to see one of the major holiday blockbusters like Avatar: The Way of Water, Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever or a slew of other popular motion pictures hitting the silver screen!
But, if big crowds aren’t your thing, you might be more happy just staying at home to watch your favorite classic Christmas movie for the one millionth time. Either way you decide to go, nothing truly completes the movie-going experience quite like an arm full of candy, with ice-cold soda pop and a giant bucket of warm, buttery popcorn!
At BoxNCase, we love going to the movies just as much as anybody else. We also happen to be crazy about candy! And one thing is for certain: candy just seems to hit differently when you’re at the movie theater.
We’re not sure if it’s the warm, neon glow of the concession stand, or the smell of fresh popped, buttery popcorn that makes the cinema one of the most glorious places to eat candy. Maybe it’s simply the magic that fills the air when you’re about to see the latest installment of your favorite cinematic franchise with your family and friends on Christmas Eve. Whatever it may be, we all know that movie theater candy surely has its way of sweetening the whole experience!
Movie theater candy is often judged by how well it pairs with buttery popcorn You’ve probably already tried mixing your M&M’s with your popcorn before. But if you haven’t, just know that you’re really missing out on something special! The combination of salty and sweet just fits perfectly within the movie going experience. Follow this burst of flavor with a cool, refreshing sip of your favorite soda pop will send your tastebuds to into pure, savory bliss!
There are plenty of other popular concoctions that can be made by mixing your popcorn with a theatre box of candies. Kristen Danley-Greiner from the website Mashed wrote a whole article on which candies are best to mix with your popcorn.
M&M’s sit mightily atop the list, but some relatively surprising candies also earned themselves a mention. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Reese’s Pieces are a great addition to popcorn for peanut butter lovers. And some people are even brave enough to mix Skittles or Dots into their buckets of popcorn!
Whatever candy you end up mixing with your popcorn, the combination of salty and sweet is something that just can’t be beat! We suggest trying a few of those mixtures on your next trip to the cinema!
