Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 14 cups popped popcorn (from 1/2 cup kernels)
- 11 ounces (311 grams) candy pumpkins
- 12 ounces (340 grams) purple candy melts
Decorative Candies:
- 1 cup green chocolate-coated candies
- 1 cup candy corns
Finishing Touches:
- 3 tablespoons Halloween sprinkles
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Carefully transfer candy melts to a microwave-safe container, gently heating in short bursts while stirring periodically until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Generously distribute freshly popped corn across a spacious baking sheet, ensuring an even layer and sprinkling with a delicate touch of salt for enhanced flavor.
- Cascade the smoothly melted candy coating over the popcorn, using a folding motion to guarantee comprehensive and uniform coverage of each kernel.
- While the candy coating remains glossy and wet, delicately shower Halloween-themed sprinkles across the surface, creating a vibrant and festive appearance.
- Allow the decorated popcorn to rest and solidify completely, periodically separating any clusters that might form during the drying process.
- Once fully set, gently introduce candy pumpkins, emerald chocolate-coated confections, and classic candy corns, tenderly folding them into the mixture to distribute evenly.
- Transfer the whimsical treat to a serving vessel, ready to delight guests with its playful seasonal charm.
Notes
- Check candy melt consistency by stirring frequently to prevent burning and ensure smooth melting.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup and preventing popcorn from sticking.
- Customize the mix by swapping Halloween candies with seasonal or dietary-friendly alternatives like gluten-free chocolates or nut-free treats.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispness and prevent moisture absorption.
