Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn Base

  • 10 cups popped popcorn

Coating

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Green food coloring (a few drops)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup pretzel sticks
  • 1/2 cup gummy worms
  • Candy eyes (about 20 pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Popcorn: Pop 10 cups of popcorn using your preferred method, ensuring most kernels are popped and removing any unpopped kernels. Place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup white chocolate chips by heating in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Add Green Color: Add a few drops of green food coloring to the melted white chocolate and stir well until the chocolate is evenly tinted green.
  4. Combine Popcorn and Coating: Pour the green white chocolate over the popcorn in the mixing bowl. Gently toss or stir the popcorn to coat it evenly with the chocolate mixture.
  5. Add Pretzels and Candy: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle in 1 cup of pretzel sticks, 1/2 cup gummy worms, and about 20 candy eyes. Gently mix to distribute the ingredients throughout the popcorn.
  6. Set and Serve: Spread the coated popcorn mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer. Allow it to cool at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely. Once set, break into clusters and serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For an extra spooky effect, you can add purple or orange food coloring mixed into small portions of melted white chocolate and drizzle over the popcorn before it sets.
  • White chocolate chips melt best when microwaved in short intervals to avoid burning.
  • Store the finished popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • Adjust the quantity of gummy worms and candy eyes based on your preference for sweetness and decoration.
