Along with fun and friends, food has to be one of the best parts of New Year’s Eve! While you could go buy a couple party platters to stock your New Year’s Eve party with food, a frugal (and probably tastier) alternative is to make your own party treats! You could choose to serve homemade appetizers, or snacks like this sparkly New Year’s Eve Popcorn!

This popcorn is so easy to make, you could probably whip it up right before your party starts! And it’d be easy to make more mid-party if you run out (which is very possible, as it’s so delicious)! You might also want to consider putting this popcorn in treat bags for people to take home and enjoy on New Year’s Day!
