Popcorn with all kinds of fixings is one of our favorite treats. About once a week we put in a movie, make a big bowl of popcorn and snuggle 'til it's all done and gone.
We also have a standing tradition of date-nights, and to make this past Friday evening special, we had the first edition of the Happy Bunny Home Theater.
Our living room is complete with two wired-in wall lights to which I added red paper complete with bunny-shaped cutouts.
I pulled out the couch and rounded up all the pillows in the house for a family-style lounge home theater experience.
To recreate the movie theater consumables, I made peppermint patties to go with our popcorn, lamb-kielbasa, spiced pecans and punch.
I mixed creamed honey with coconut oil and added peppermint oil. Once the mix had cooled I spooned it into little portions.
When the portions have solidified even more (I put them in the fridge to speed the process) they can be formed into patty shapes.
Using a fork I carefully dipped them in melted chocolate (mix of bittersweet and unsweetened to balance the honey) and slipped them onto parchment.
Not a single one survived the evening.
