Happy 2023 and another way to eat your Black-Eyed Peas
Here’s one more way to spice up a New Year’s tradition! Happy 2023!!!!
Klaus and movie popcorn (Maple-Bacon Popcorn)
Happy holidays! Join Movies & Munches for a “new” holiday classic, Klaus. It’s not a rom-com but it will put you in the holiday spirit.

I always bring back some local beers, mostly IPAs, but I also usually throw something in the cart that is a bit…
It’s Great Pumpkin Bread, Charlie Brown!
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown for Movies & Munches, October edition.
