This recipe guides you through creating three distinct colors of coated popcorn using butterless microwave popcorn and Wilton candy melts. Each batch is decorated with Halloween sprinkles, M&M's Ghoul's Mix, and candy eyeballs before cooling and combining for a festive snack.
Ingredients
Directions
- First, split the popped popcorn into three equal portions and place each into a separate bowl. Line a large baking tray with parchment or wax paper and set it nearby.
- Next, divide the contents of each candy melt bag into three smaller bowls. Melt one portion at a time in the microwave, following the manufacturer's instructions. Once smooth, drizzle the melted candy over one bowl of popcorn and toss gently until every piece is coated.
- Transfer the coated popcorn to the lined tray, spreading it out to create space for the next color. Sprinkle on a third of the Halloween sprinkles, a third of the M&M's Ghoul's Mix, and a third of both the small and large candy eyeballs. Repeat this coating and decorating process for the remaining two colors of candy melts and their corresponding popcorn portions.
- Let the popcorn cool completely on the tray to ensure the different colored coatings harden without blending. Once firm, break the popcorn into bite-sized pieces and combine all three colors in a large serving bowl. Adjust the chunk size to your preference before serving. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
