Thanks to Pop Secret for sponsoring today’s key lime pie popcorn bars recipe and encouraging me to make fort building memories with my family! All photos and opinions are mine
As kids my sister and I would build forts, especially on cold/rainy days when we couldn’t go outside to play. We would have so much fun gathering all the blankets and pillows and designing how we wanted our fort to look. Then we would grab some popcorn and watch a movie from our fort. Right now is the perfect time to build a fort with your family, and serve a yummy snack using Pop Secret popcorn.
Dustyn likes plain jane popcorn. Kenny and I like to spruce up our popcorn, so I made these key lime pie popcorn bars! They taste amazing, if I do say so myself!

We had a fun afternoon building our fort and hanging out together. We used our dining room table and just kept draping blankets over each other. That way they would stay put. Carsyn really enjoyed hanging out in the fort with Dustyn. Sometimes it is difficult to find things they can do together because of Carsyn’s Cerebral Palsy, but it was nice and cozy in there with all the blankets and pillows. He kicked back and they had a lot of fun together.
If you want to make your own memories grab some popcorn, and build a fort. They will love it and it will bring back memories of when you were a kid. Do you have any fort building tips to share?
