HALLOWEEN POPCORN

Halloween Popcorn made with a sweet, buttery candy coating then tossed with Halloween candy. It’s the perfect festive treat! 

Halloween Popcorn uses Nellie’s “Better Than Caramel Popcorn” recipe to create this fun & festive snack! If your kids are anything like mine, they are always begging for popcorn when they watch a movie, and it’s fun to have different versions to mix things up! There’s no better treat to munch on while snuggled under a blanket watching a movie than the perfect salty/sweet combo you can find in popcorn recipes like this one! The recipe is so simple and I love the sweet, buttery candy that coats the popcorn.  Add in whatever Halloween treats you’d like- candy corn was amazing in this, as were the M&M’s. The kids loved the gummy worms, of course! Enjoy!

Halloween Popcorn

• 2 packages microwave popcorn, popped (about 9 cups popcorn)/ 1/3 cup unpopped kernels
• 1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 or 4 different types of Halloween themed candy

1. Pop your popcorn and remove any un-popped kernels. Put popcorn in a large bowl and set aside.
2. Combine the butter, sugar and whipping cream in a medium saucepan.** Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
3. Pour over popcorn and stir to combine.
4. Add in Halloween candy- our favorites were candy corn and M&M’s- and stir to combine. It’s best when served immediately.

**I’ve also made this in the microwave. Combine butter, sugar & whipping cream in a large glass bowl. Microwave for 2.5 minutes, stir, then for an additional 2 minutes. Pour over popcorn.
