INGREDIENTS
You will need just 5 Ingredients to make this Frankenstein Popcorn mix.
Popped Popcorn – You can make the popcorn in your microwave or use packed popcorn or make popcorn in your Instant Pot!
Candy melts – Use an assortment of candy melts or just one color. I have used green candy melt and white candy melt. For the purple color, I have included edible food coloring.
Googly Eyes or Candy eyes – are easily available to buy in Superstores or Amazon. Alternatively, you can make googly eyes with White chocolate chips and black coloring gel.
Sprinkles – Any fun sprinkles – either Halloween-themed or your favorite ones.
Sweets – Use any or all of your favorites.
HOW TO MAKE HALLOWEEN SCARY POPCORN MIX STEP BY STEP
- I have made this recipe for ghoulish popcorn with already popped popcorn. You can make them from scratch using this recipe – HOW TO MAKE POPCORN?
- Melt the candy melts in large bowl. I place the bowl in the microwave oven and microwave in bursts of 20 seconds, stirring in between. Do it until you have a smooth melt.
- Place the popcorn in a bowl. Pour the melted candy mix. Add the sprinkles, sweets and candy eyes.
- Mix well until coated.
- Transfer the popcorn to the serving bowls, stir in more sprinkles, eyes and sweets. Allow it harden and serve!
HALLOWEEN POPCORN TREAT IDEAS
POPCORN BALLS – This is one of our favorites! Pour the candy melts over the popcorn, sprinkles, and sweets. Roll to make Halloween popcorn balls.
POPCORN CLUSTERS – Melt the marshmallows and pour them over the popcorn along with the other treats like crumbled chocolate chip cookies, almonds, m&m’s. Stir with a spatula and allow them to set.
POPCORN CUPCAKES – Halloween popcorn cupcakes can be made in a similar way as the popcorn clusters. When the popcorn mixture is easy to touch, simply shape them and place them in a cupcake case. Decorate with spooky eyes.
HALLOWEEN POPCORN TRAIL MIX
EASY TIPS TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
Gather the ingredients for the spooky popcorn before working on the recipe.
Make sure the Popcorn is ready, before melting the candy melts. You need to work really quickly as they harden quickly.
POPCORN – If you are making them at home, make sure to discard any un-popped popcorns. You really don’t want to chew on any unpopped kernels. It is quite unpleasant!
CANDY MELTS – While working with candy melts, make sure there is no moisture/ water around them. It can harden and they cannot be melted again.
If you find the candy melts slightly thicker, mix a little vegetable oil after melting and stir to achieve the thin consistency you like.
Don’t have Candy melts, use white chocolate instead. Mix them with the food coloring of your choice. But bear in mind, they take a while to set the popcorn. You will have to spread the colorful popcorn on a lined baking tray and allow it to set.
OPTIONAL ADD-INS– You can add M&M’s, melted marshmallows, or even cookies too.
WHERE CAN I BUY CANDY MELTS IN THE UK?
Candy melt is easy to buy on Amazon or Hobby Craft Store. I buy Wilton brand candy melts or Fun Cakes Deco Melts.
