As Halloween approaches, it’s time to whip up some wickedly delicious treats that will leave your taste buds spellbound. One snack that perfectly captures the spirit of the season is Halloween Popcorn! This easy-to-make recipe combines the crunch of popcorn and pretzels with the sweetness of white chocolate and a spooky assortment of toppings. It’s perfect for a Halloween celebration or a fall movie night.
- 8 cups of popped popcorn
- 3 cups of pretzels
- 2 cups of white chocolate chips
- 1 cup of Reese’s Pieces
- Melted candy coating (in Halloween colors: Orange, Black, Purple)
- Halloween-themed sprinkles
- Candy eyeballs
- Halloween Popcorn Containers
Directions:
1.Start by popping 8 cups of popcorn, ensuring it’s free of any unpopped kernels (or buy a bag of popcorn). In a large mixing bowl, combine the popcorn with 3 cups of pretzels.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 cups of white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Once melted, pour the white chocolate over the popcorn and pretzel mixture. Using a spatula, gently toss until everything is evenly coated.Â
3. Sprinkle 1 cup of Reese’s Pieces over the chocolate-coated popcorn and pretzels. I love using Reese’s Pieces for this, but you could also use M&Ms instead.Â
4. Drizzle the popcorn mix with melted candy coating in your favorite spooky colors—orange, black, and purple. As the candy coating begins to set, generously sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles for an extra dose of festive fun. Top it all off with candy eyeballs strategically placed to give your Halloween Popcorn Delight an eerie gaze.
5. Allow your Halloween Popcorn Delight to set for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate and candy coating have solidified. Once set, break the mixture into chunks and serve in festive bowls or individual bags for easy snacking.Â

Store in a zip-lock bag or sealed container. I’ve noticed that it’s best when eaten within 2-3 days.Â
