The first snack was served at the beginning of the evening – Garlic Parmesan Popcorn. The second snack was served at the end of the evening – Chocolate Coconut Popcorn. Conveniently served in miniature cones, the snacks were simultaneously elegant and simple. So, of course I felt the need to share these easy-to-make party snacks right away.
