Almond Butter Chocolate Popcorn Bites
I cannot have popcorn without having something sweet and preferably chocolate-y with it. When I was a little girl and my parents would take me to the movies, I HAD to have Raisinets along with my popcorn. While I may not opt for movie theater popcorn or Raisinets anymore, I still love this salty sweet combo. This dessert is quick and wholesome which seems to be a recurring theme here on Wildly Wholesome. It is also delicious and seriously addictive! Say hello to your new movie night companion.
