Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 cups popped popcorn (plain or lightly salted)
- 1 cup pretzels (mini twists or sticks)
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 cup Halloween-colored chocolate candies (like M&M’s)
- ½ cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (for drizzling)
- 2 tbsp Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine popcorn and pretzels: Place the 8 cups of popped popcorn and 1 cup of pretzels into a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are well mixed to create the base for the mix.
- Melt white chocolate: Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips using a microwave or double boiler until smooth and creamy, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Drizzle white chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate evenly over the popcorn and pretzel mixture to add sweetness and help bind the mix together.
- Add candies and marshmallows: Add 1 cup candy corn, 1 cup Halloween-colored chocolate candies, ½ cup mini marshmallows (if using), and 2 tablespoons of Halloween sprinkles on top of the mixture.
- Toss gently: Gently toss all ingredients together to ensure even coating of white chocolate and distribute the candies and marshmallows throughout the mix without crushing the popcorn.
- Set and cluster: Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes until the white chocolate sets. Once set, break the mixture into clusters for serving.
Notes
- Use plain or lightly salted popcorn to balance the sweetness of the candies and white chocolate.
- Mini marshmallows are optional but add extra chewiness and texture.
- Allow the white chocolate to fully cool and harden before breaking into clusters to avoid mess.
- Store the popcorn mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Feel free to substitute Halloween-colored candies with any seasonal or favorite candy mix.
