Halloween Candied Popcorn

I love an excuse to make sweet treats. And Halloween is such a perfect time for making all sorts of treats.

This past weekend, I made this Halloween candied popcorn just for fun. It happened to be our elementary school’s annual back to school picnic and fun run, so I brought it along as our picnic dessert.

My husband and I sat on our picnic blanket, snacking on our candied popcorn, while our youngest son ran a mile and a half with the rest of the elementary school kids. It was good. My boys agreed (although, to his credit, AJ said that it wasn’t exactly good for him, but he was ok with eating it because he needed to replace some calories after his run. Oy! Kids!). Ok, so maybe it isn’t the healthiest way to eat popcorn, but sometimes a sweet treat is ok…right?

Halloween Candied Popcorn

Ingredients

• 6 cups popcorn, popped and salted (I use my homemade kettle corn)
• 4 ounces white chocolate
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter
• 1/2 cup Reese's Pieces
• 1/2 cup candy corn
• 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Spread popcorn out on cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil. Measure out candies and set aside.
2. Melt white chocolate and peanut butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until melted and smooth.
3. Drizzle melted chocolate/peanut butter over popcorn. Immediately sprinkle candies over popcorn/chocolate.
4. Let candy and popcorn cool and dry (if you can wait to eat it!).

It’s so easy! I wanted to try to make a candied popcorn without using corn syrup (it’s not like this is healthy, or anything, but still….) and I was so pleased with how easy it was to make and how well the flavors went together. This would be perfect for a Halloween party!

Here are the quick visual directions:

Spread popped popcorn on a lined cookie sheet (I used my kettle corn recipe).

Melt white chocolate and peanut butter over low heat and drizzle over popcorn.

Sprinkle candies over the popcorn (they will stick to the melted chocolate as it cools).

Enjoy!
