My daughter attends a weekly scout meeting where all of the parents rotate providing treats and beverages for their meetings. Every 5-6 weeks I’m responsible for coming up with something creative for the girls to enjoy. When this recipe hit our inbox I knew it would be a great one to make for the girls to enjoy. Plus, its easy-to-make too!

I like the idea of adding popcorn to more recipes. These strawberry bars would be easy to make and look great.
I love strawberry bars like this but I never thought of adding popcorn. It might be really tasty.
I bet this was a popular treat for the girl scout troop. My granddaughter is in girl scouts too. At their summer camp out they take turns planning and making the meals. This would be a fun dessert to have.
Popcorn strawberry bars sound delicious to me! I have never heard of this treat but would love to have one!
