Halloween Popcorn

Whenever I have an excuse to make popcorn, I love finding different flavor combos. This Halloween popcorn is so easy to make for a festive treat, perfect for parties or adding to a fall snack board along with some Halloween Oreo balls and spooky treats like Halloween rice krispie treats!

It’s sweet and salty, with plenty of crunch from the candy and the perfect coating of white chocolate, just like my white chocolate popcorn and Halloween Chex mix.

How to Make Halloween Popcorn

  1. Preparing the popcorn. You will need 8-10 cups prepared popcorn. Either use microwave or for fresh and crunchy popcorn, make these easy stovetop popcorn.
  2. Chop candy. To get started, line a baking sheet with wax paper so that the popcorn doesn’t stick to the pan. Then chop the candy into pieces if you’re using candy bars.
  3. Melt. Next melt the chocolate until smooth. I like to use white chocolate melting wafers and melt mine in the microwave at 50% for 1 minute. Then stir and melt again for another 30 seconds or so. White chocolate has a tendency to burn and turn clumpy, so make sure to keep an eye on it and continue stirring until it melts.
  4. Mix. Then pour the melted chocolate over the bowl of popcorn and stir until the mixture is evenly coated. Mix in the candy and spread the mix onto the wax paper in a single layer to harden. Then break into pieces once dry.

Halloween Popcorn Mix-ins

There are so many fun Halloween popcorn ideas and the add-in possibilities are practically endless for a festive mix! I love adding in M&M’s, candy corn or candy pumpkins, chopped Kit Kat Bars and Reese’s.

  • Candy: Use candy that’s not only delicious, but is bright in color. Keep it simple with just a Halloween version of my M&M popcorn or add in leftover candy corn, too!
  • Sprinkles: You can never have too many sprinkles, right? Festive Halloween sprinkles add a fun touch and texture.
  • Candy eyes: Give this treat a spooky flare by mixing in some candy eyes. Kids go crazy over this addition!
  • Drizzled chocolate: After spreading the popcorn out onto the wax paper, try drizzling some orange or black melted chocolate wafers on top like I did in the picture below.
  • Popcorn balls: You can also form the popcorn into small balls instead of spreading out in an even layer. This is a great idea for Halloween parties or for a grab and go treat!
  • Popcorn base. Instead of a white chocolate base, try a classic caramel corn or marshmallow caramel corn.
