Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn
- 10 cups popped popcorn
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Green food coloring (few drops)
Mix-ins and Decorations
- 1 cup pretzel sticks
- 1/2 cup gummy worms
- Candy eyes (about 20 pieces)
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Add green food coloring: Stir a few drops of green food coloring into the melted white chocolate until the color is evenly blended and a vibrant green hue is achieved.
- Coat the popcorn: In a large mixing bowl, pour the melted green white chocolate over the 10 cups of popped popcorn. Gently toss the popcorn to evenly coat it with the chocolate mixture.
- Add pretzels and gummy worms: Sprinkle the pretzel sticks and gummy worms over the coated popcorn, then gently mix to distribute them throughout the batch.
- Decorate with candy eyes: Transfer the coated popcorn mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. Press the candy eyes lightly into the clusters of popcorn to make them appear like spooky faces.
- Let it set: Allow the Witches’ Brew Popcorn to sit at room temperature until the white chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes. For quicker setting, place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate is set, break any large clumps apart and serve your festive Halloween treat.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate for a smoother melt and better texture.
- Adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
- This popcorn treat can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- The gummy worms and candy eyes add a fun, spooky look but can be omitted or replaced with other Halloween-themed candies.
- If preferred, the popcorn can be drizzled with the chocolate rather than fully coated for a lighter sweetness.
