Some movies aimed at kids can be mind numbing to watch as a family but then you catch a movie that kids and parents can enjoy equally. I’m talking about Dispicable Me 2. On December 10 you can enjoy a minion adventure in your living room with the Blu-ray Combo pack release and to get you into the mood toss together a little Minion Munch.
This new dynamite party mix, with banana, peanut butter and just a touch of chocolate tossed in for good measure, is one tasty treat!
