The most important thing in the world to me is Josh. There really isn’t anything that I wouldn’t do for him. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that he’s 11. Wait, scratch that. It’s always hard for me to believe that he’s 11. I’m not sure where the time has gone, but i know that there is a lot more time that I want to spend with him and things I want to do! I’m definitely not ready for him to grow up anytime soon.
One thing that we love to do is watching movies. We have been wanting to see The Boxtrolls ever since we saw the previews for it! So while I was at Walmart the other week and I saw that it was available on DVD and Bluray I was really excited! I knew that we needed to get it and have a family movie night.
So I was sure to pick up some of the must have movie necessities:
- The Boxtrolls on Blu-Ray
- Pop Secret Popcorn (We are fans of the 10 count bags of Movie Theatre Butter Popcorn!)
- White Chocolate
- Candy…..Lots of candy! 🙂
It’s a proven fact that you shouldn’t watch a movie without popcorn. Ok, maybe I made that up, but we all know it’s pretty much the truth! 🙂
While Josh was getting the movie set up, I was getting the popcorn ready. It was a Trash Popcorn evening! What’s Trash Popcorn? It’s when the kitchen is up for grabs. Pop your Pop Secret popcorn as instructed in the directions. Then, pick your toppings. We’ve melted chocolate and drizzled popcorn, but get creative.
Then add your mix ins. I like to buy mini-candies to mix in. Their size is perfect! We’ve done chocolate candies, peanut butter, chocolate caramels, etc. We’ve also used things like crushed cookies, pretzels, and sprinkles.
Seriously, open up your pantry and cabinets and get creative. Having a popcorn buffet is fun and makes movie night extra special!
If you haven’t seen The Boxtrolls yet, it’s a sweet story. There is a rumor in town that the Boxtrolls are evil and kidnap children. So the Boxtrolls come out at night, collecting trash and are very excellent at using that trash to make new things. They also help raise a young boy. This boy thinks he’s a Box Troll, but in time meets a young girl. She takes him to meet her father and they try to tell everyone that the Boxtrolls aren’t evil, but no one will listen. They have been tricked. But when the town is in trouble, the Boxtrolls come to the rescue!
Hey now, I can’t tell you the whole ending!
Overall, we gave this movie two thumbs up. It was well done and really cute. And of course, it had a great message for the kids!
Pick up your copy of The Boxtrolls at Walmart and be sure to grab Pop Secret (our favorite is the 10 count Movie Theatre Butter Popcorn!) to make your own family movie night extra special! (Walmart availability is while supplies last!)

We haven’t seen the Boxtrolls Movie. And the trash popcorn looks delish.
Now that is some amazingly fun looking popcorn! We watched Boxtrolls a few weeks ago. It was so cute and not at all what I expected. I like how different it was.

I’ve heard good things about this movie and it’s tough to go wrong with popcorn. Seems like a winning combination to me.
