Halloween Candy Popcorn

“Anything is good if it’s made of chocolate.” -Jo Brand

Looking for a way to use up some of the extra Halloween candy leftover from last night? This is a quick, easy, and delicious recipe for you!

Ingredients:

  • About 4-5 cups popped popcorn (original or kettlecorn)
  • 4 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (no seasonal shaped items)
  • 4-8 fun-sized Midnight Milky Way’s*

Directions:

Lay all the popcorn on a baking sheet. Spread it out evenly. Use two baking sheets or more if necessary.

In a small cooking pot, add the halloween chocolate. Use a rubber spatula to move the chocolate around as it melts and cut the chocolate into smaller pieces. Keep breaking the chocolate until it has melted, but not burned. Note: the chocolate will be thick because of the peanut butter filling in the Reese’s and the caramel or nutty filling of the fun-sized bars. After the chocolate has melted to its fullest potential, turn off the heat. Immediately pour the chocolate over the popcorn. Be sure to pour the chocolate sparingly so all the popcorn get’s some chocolate. Using the rubber spatulas carefully transfer the popcorn from the baking sheets to a large bowl (or two!). The chocolate will still be warm and not have dried as yet. Mix the popcorn well in the bowl as to keep spreading the chocolate to each piece. Enjoy!

*You may opt for an alternate, gluten-free, fun-sized chocolate such as Snickers or Three Musketeers. Just be sure to read the labels!
