I’ve heard the tales. I’ve seen the struggle. An  amazing candy buffet display is not an easy feat to achieve. How much candy will I need? Where can I find it all? What about containers? I’ve never laid awake thinking about candy buffets but I hear whispers from brides who have.

A few months ago, I saw a sign go up for Yummi Pop. I peered into the windows for what seemed like a lifetime until one day they were magically open. The store, located in Valley Ranch, specializes in gourmet popcorn, which includes the kinds of favorites you would expect, but it’s the things you don’t expect that make your mouth do the tango.

First of all, they have Puppy Chow. That yummy ridiculous treat that you used to steal from your friends because it was a pain in the butt to make yourself and your mom refused to clean up the wreck when you did try to make it. Yeah, that.

Viv and I found several other super favorites such as Jalapeno, Sour Cream & Chive, and Ranch. We tried them all during our photo shoot and our mouths sang with every bite!
