Truffle Parmesan Popcorn + Caramel Popcorn

One of my favorite things to do on an extra chilly December night is get cozy on the couch, light a fire and watch a favorite flick. Over the weekend I updated my Netflix queue with Christmas movies galore and experimented with the best movie night snack there is... popcorn. Since I've always been a sucker for those giant Holiday tins filled with sweet, salty and savory combos, I decided to make my own hard-to-resist duo—truffle parmesan and caramel. The hardest part? Not overindulging to the point of a bellyache. 
 Truffle Butter from Whole Foods
 Fresh Chives
 Technically this means I'm getting my greens for the day... right?
 Truffle Parmesan Popcorn
Salty + Sweet in my favorite Ceramicook bowls

Truffle Parmesan Popcorn:
4 tbs. unsalted butter
2 tbs truffle butter
1/4 cup chopped chives
1 cup grated parmesan 
1 bag of plain popcorn

Melt the butter and chives in a saucepan on low, stir occasionally. Drizzle over popcorn toss with salt and parmesan. I used this recipe for the caramel popcorn, it was easy peasy and ridiculously good!

I'm like you in that I like to balance out the sweet with the salty. This truffle parmesean popcorn sounds amazing. I'll definitely have to try it out on my hubby during our next movie night!

There's nothing better than cozying up on the couch with a holiday classic and a bowl of popcorn. And these homemade varieties look delicious!

I had homemade caramel corn for the first time this weekend! It was my husband's special recipe- but it sounds very similar to the food network one- it was SO GOOD!
