Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- Food coloring (optional)
- 1/2 cup candy eyes
- Halloween-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Popcorn: Start by popping the popcorn kernels using an air popper or stovetop method until you have about 8 cups of popped popcorn.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth. If desired, mix in a few drops of food coloring.
- Coat the Popcorn: Pour the melted white chocolate over the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss until each kernel is evenly coated.
- Add Candy Eyes: While the chocolate is still wet, scatter candy eyes across the popcorn to ensure they stick well.
- Sprinkle with Fun: If using, shower Halloween-themed sprinkles over your popcorn while it's still tacky from the chocolate coating.
- Let It Cool: Spread out the coated popcorn on parchment paper and allow it to cool completely before serving to maintain that delightful crunch.
