Spooky Halloween Popcorn Mix

I’ve made so many different snacks and treats for Halloween parties over the years. I find the kids never want anything fancy, but they do like it when it’s a little creative and nothing they’ve ever seen before. This Spooky Halloween Party was a favorite last year and this year I have cute little cauldrons to serve it in. 

To make this popcorn you can start with fresh popped corn, or popcorn from the store. Then you toss it with melted butter, salt, chocolate, and candy to turn it into a savory and sweet treat that begs to be set out in bowls around any Halloween gathering. 

If you have to make a large amount to serve a lot of people you can make this in advanced and store it in airtight big plastic bags until you’re ready to serve it. You’ll see here I put the popcorn in adorable mini cauldrons I found at the store. But you can also serve it in huge bowls, or portion it into individual cardboard popcorn boxes or bags. 

I hope you love this fun and Spooky Halloween Popcorn. Have fun with it and enjoy the holiday season!
