A fun and festive Halloween popcorn recipe perfect for parties and movie nights. This sweet treat combines crunchy popcorn with rich chocolate and colorful candies for a deliciously spooky snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn

  • 10 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped kernels)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup assorted Halloween-themed candies (such as candy corn, M&Ms, mini marshmallows, or sprinkles)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Popcorn: Pop the popcorn kernels using your preferred method (air popper or stovetop) ensuring there are no unpopped kernels. Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl, removing any stray unpopped kernels.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil or butter. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well after each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Coat the Popcorn: Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the popcorn. Gently toss with a spatula or wooden spoon to coat all pieces while being careful not to break the popcorn.
  4. Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the assorted Halloween candies over the chocolate-coated popcorn. Gently toss again to mix the toppings evenly before the chocolate sets.
  5. Set and Serve: Spread the popcorn mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Allow it to cool and the chocolate to harden at room temperature or speed up by placing in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. Break into clusters and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use good quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
  • For extra crunch, you can lightly toast the popcorn before coating.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with nuts, pretzels, or different candies.
  • Be careful not to overheat chocolate as it can seize and become grainy.
