I’m really happy to share this inspiration with you today with help from my friends Grand Rapids Popcorn and Sunshine Tulip Design!

peace, love & popcorn!
giggle living may have received payment and/or product. however i only endorse products i love and all opinions are my own.
setting up popcorn bar is so easy. have a fun theme, or just spread it all out on a table or countertop…either way is just as delicious!
adorable printables give such charm to my spread! print right from your computer or for a minimal fee have them printed at your local, office supply store!
the darling hearts scattered about give this popcorn bar a Valentine vibe!
but this treat would make perfect party food for ANY kind of celebration!
a collection of corn and tasty toppings are all you really need!
popcorn bar…salty AND sweet!
it’s nice to enjoy both sweet & salty choices…for the popcorn and the toppings!
potato chips will add some extra salt & crunch to the flavors…
add some sriracha bacon for a fun twist! (i’ll share this recipe at the end of the post!)
and if allergies aren’t a concern, mixed nuts are always nice!
if you’ve got a sweet tooth…chocolate covered cranberries are great for those who lean toward the sugary side!
and yogurt raisins are pleasantly mild and look pretty too!
you don’t need tons of toppings…just a few favorites to sprinkle in!
popping for joy!
party tip:
i used new, plastic pots to hold the corn! just wash them and line them with parchment if you’d like!
you can also use masking tape to attach a photo/place card pick to the inside of the rim. an easy way to display the choices!
now for the popcorn flavors! i had fun with old favorites and some new ones to sample! tried & true white salted…
cheddar is another fave…
salt & vinegar for the “pucker up” lovers…
creamy dill was new for us…and now another fun favorite! it’s also especially delicious with the chips & bacon!
some sweetness is on the buffet with crunchy caramel…
and last but definitely not least, oreo cookies and cream!
chocolaty, creamy AND oreo bits…need i say more?
so pick out your faves, print up a fun decoration or two…
and serve up a popcorn bar!

I love how each panel of the ‘popcorn bar’ banner resembles little popcorn containers. Too cute.
