I interviewed Angel Wojo; Her favorite snack at the movies is popcorn! Every time she goes to the movies with her friends she loves getting popcorn!
Ms. McVicker has been known to go to the movie theater, bypass the ticket counter, and purchase a large tub of popcorn to take home.

Chocolate Popcorn!
What you will need:
- 1 bag of pre-popped popcorn
- 1 cup of peanuts
- 1 cup of M&Ms
- 2 tablespoon of shortening
- 1 bag of chocolate chips
To begin this recipe, you must first melt the chocolate chips. This is easily accomplished by by pouring the bag of chocolate chips into a bowl with the shortening and placing it in the microwave. Set the microwave for one minute and start it up. Repeat until the chocolate chips are melted enough.
Next, you'll need to combine the peanuts, M&Ms, and popcorn in a large bowl. While the melted chocolate chips are still hot, drizzle the mixture over the bowl with a spoon.
Now you can finally eat your Chocolate Popcorn, or you put the popcorn into Tupperware containers and place them in the fridge to eat later!
