Simple Popcorn Treats for Any Holiday
I’m going to give you several ideas for Halloween or Fall Popcorn Treats.
To get started:
Begin with plain popped popcorn. You can do this by your favorite method – on the stove, in the microwave, or a popcorn popper.
Make a layer of popcorn on a cookie or baking sheet. Parchment paper can also be used.
Melt your candy as directed.
Drizzle the melted candy over the popcorn, as little, or as much as you like.
Add sprinkles immediately so they will adhere to the candy.
Let this first layer to cool about 5 minutes.
Stir lightly.
For each additional color of melts, do as the first layer, allowing a little cool time.
Mixing too much can muddy the colors.
Let cool completely.
Mix again.
Break into chunks and store in air-tight container for up to 3 days.
These are great for homemade treats or fill bags to hand out on Halloween.
