Baby Shark Popcorn Mix
Baby Shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo!
If your little sharks have been driving you bonkers with the catchy song, they will love this Baby Shark Popcorn Mix!
Popcorn is mixed with gummy sharks, fish, and lifesaver candy, drizzled with melted white chocolate, and topped with sprinkles.
This fun snack is perfect for so many shark-themed occasions:
- A kids’ shark movie night. Shark Tale, Finding Nemo, and The Reef are great kid-friendly shark-themed animated movies.
- But there is no reason not to make a bowl of shark popcorn for an adult gathering – Jaws is the classic, but there is also The Meg, Deep Blue Sea, and Sharknado, to name a few.
- You can’t forget about Shark Week – learn about sharks, enjoy a snack, and maybe even one of our free Shark Week printables.
- And finally, of course, it’s perfect Baby Shark Party Food!
