Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 1 cup candy corn
- 4 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Optional toppings: chocolate drizzle or nuts
Instructions
- Pop the popcorn kernels according to package instructions. If using an air popper, that's even better! Place popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until completely liquid. Keep an eye on it—no one wants burnt butter ruining this sweet delight!
- Pour the melted butter over the popcorn evenly. Stir gently with a spatula to coat each kernel without breaking them.
- While the popcorn is still warm, add in your candy corn. The warmth will help them adhere better to your popcorn. Toss everything together gently until well mixed.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt over your popcorn mix. If you're feeling adventurous, now's a great time to add any optional toppings like chocolate drizzle or chopped nuts!
- Transfer your colorful Candy Corn Popcorn into serving bowls or keep it snuggly in an airtight container until it's time to enjoy it!
