Cinnamon Bear Popcorn

Christmas traditions are always so fun.  We like to kick off the Christmas season by watching Elf and eating this yummy treat.  Here's some of the lines that make my kids laugh hard:   [reading the note Buddy left on the etch-a-sketch] "I'm sorry I ruined your lives, and crammed eleven cookies into the VCR."  We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.
