We missed Goosebumps 2 when it was in theaters, but it had been on my radar to pick up and share with the family. Last weekend, we finally watched this movie, and everyone loved it!  Prior to the watching the movie, the girls and I did some fun gummy bear science experiments, as well as whipping out some tasty "gummy bear" inspired treats/snacks.  You read more about our fun with gummy bears and Goosebumps 2 below. Be sure to read all the way to the end, as I added a giveaway, where one lucky Inspired by Savannah reader will have a chance to win a copy of the Goosebumps 2 Blu-Ray, to enjoy with their family.  Good luck! :-)

Slappy the devious ventriloquist dummy returns to run amuck, in this second installment of the family-friendly franchise based on R.L. Stine’s beloved book series. Standing in Slappy’s way is a terrifyingly talented cast including Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs), Madison Iseman (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle), Jeremy Ray Taylor (It), Caleel Harris (Castle Rock), and Chris Parnell (Rick and Morty), with Ken Jeong (Crazy Rich Asians).

My girls were first turned on to the Goosebumps books and movies when they found it streaming on television last year.  Since, they have picked up a handful of the books from the library and read them, and have been watching the first movie repeatedly, in anticipation for the sequel, which they think they will be waiting until Jan. 15th for.  I am not usually good at keeping secrets as I get excited and like to see them smile, but I have been good and not spilling the beans on the digital release on Christmas.  I only have 1 day left to hold my tongue.  Crossing my fingers I can hold out. :-)

As part of our homeschooling, though, today, I thought I was going to cave and tell them as we were doing gummy bear science.  What better way to teach science than with fun hands on activities and experiments. And, there is so much you can do with gummy bears, besides eating them, or even baking with them (which we did, too!).  




Thanks to a fun #Goosebumps2Gummies challenge package we were sent in the mail the other day, I was sent enough gummy bears to last me a lifetime...well, not really, but there were a lot of packages. 


This was just from the green bag -- the pink bag was filled with them too, as was the treasure chest.


In addition to all the gummy bears, there were recipe cards and science experiment cards included, as well as ad digital code for us to see the movie when it arrives on Digital  through Movies Anywhere Christmas Day.  


The green bag also had a container of candy sprinkles we used to make mocktails, as well as paper straws and white melting chocolate for the gummy bark recipe included

We were also sent science experiment supplies including test tubes, gloves, safety goggles and even an UV flashlight, along with more gummy bear, in the pink bag below...


The girls already have Jan. 15th circled on their calendars for the DVD release of this movie, so thought I was sent this fun Goosebumps 2 package to count down until the Blu-Ray/DVD release date.  :-)

We did all of the recipes minus the holiday gummy bear bark and Slappy's Holiday Thumbprint cookies, as we wanted to save some baking for tomorrow.  




The girls woke up this AM and wanted to make brownies, which turned into a morning of making 3 different kinds of brownies...this after making 4 dozen assorted cookies the day before.  I don't remember asking Santa for weight gain this holiday season, but with all the tasty treats we have been baking up, hopefully Santa brings some exercise equipment for me. :-)

The girls really loved the Goosebumps Gummy Bear Slime and watching their gummy bears grow overnight (we started this experiment yesterday to give them time to grow). 


Growing and Glowing Gummy Bears...oh so cool!...






And, the Gummy Bear Slime was a hit, too!...








I also picked up tonic water and showed the girls how the gummy bears can glow in the dark when placed in tonic water, which they thought was so cool.




In addition to the Gummy Bear Holiday "Mocktails" we made, the girls had leftover chocolate, and decided to melt it and roll marshmallows on a stick in it, before dipping in sprinkles and then topping with gummy bears.  


Bella knows what's up...Gummy Bear Holiday Mocktails Time!...






Love her look of excitement seeing the gummy bears in the cup. :-)

And, Savannah was all about the chocolate dipped marshmallows covered in sprinkles and gummy bears...








After these two treats, they were on a sugar high and talking non-stop about the upcoming Goosebumps movie.  They had a blast with all the gummy bear fun, and know that the Goosebumps 2 movie will be even better than the first one.  They can't wait to see what is to come of Slappy and the evil Gummy Bears.  But, in the meantime, they now have some fun recipes to make with all the gummy bears we have, and are still watching their gummy bears grow in water.  

So, as you wind down your holiday shopping and planning for Christmas, why not consider making a note to order Goosebumps 2 when it arrives on Digital on Tuesday, Dec. 25th.  This movie is sure to make for a fun family movie night after a crazy morning.  I, for one, am looking forward to just kicking back on the couch and snuggling up with my family, as we watch Goosebumps 2 for the first time. 

Want to try some of the recipes we made, read on to see a video about the fun Gummy Bear slime we made (which is edible), as well as the recipe card for Slappy's Holiday Thumbprint cookies, we made and left out for Santa.

Bake them if you dare! Frightfully delicious.
