Halloween Monster Popcorn is drizzled in melted white chocolate and mixed with sprinkles and candy eyeballs for a fun and spooky Halloween treat.
We try not to let a season or holiday pass by without spending some time in the kitchen. Whether we’re baking old family favourites or dreaming of a fun new recipe (have you tried our Pumpkin Pie Baklava?), it’s a great way to connect and spend time together as a family. Speaking of spending time together, did you catch our Fall Bucket List? It’s full of fun ideas and activities to make sure you and your family make the most of the fall season. Print it out and stick it on your fridge as a pretty reminder all of the things you can do this autumn.
But I’m off-topic, let’s get back to today’s spooky recipe, our Halloween Monster Popcorn. Last Easter we whipped up a batch of our Easter Candy Popcorn, and it was such a hit we thought we would recreate it for Halloween. If I’m being honest, it’s not quite as amazing as our Easter popcorn because, well mini eggs, need I say more? But really, it’s such a delicious Halloween treat and so fun to make, especially for little ones!
It’s a simple recipe and easy enough that the whole family can join in. Pop popcorn, drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkle in some Halloween fun. We added a mix of black sugar crystals, purple sprinkles, and candy eyeballs for a spooky touch that kids will love.
And if you’re feeling generous you might want to double the recipe so you can share it with family and friends this Halloween. It would look pretty in clear cellophane bags tied with black ribbon. Or use it to decorate your table if you’re hosting a Halloween party (we’re sharing our kid-friendly Halloween party ideas tomorrow if you’re looking for inspiration). However you decide to share it or eat it, we’re sure you’ll love it!
