Popcorn Base
Coating and Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Green food coloring (a few drops)
- 1 cup pretzel sticks
- 1/2 cup gummy worms
- Candy eyes (about 1/4 cup or to preference)
- Prepare Popcorn: Place the 10 cups of popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no unpopped kernels to avoid biting into hard pieces.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Color: Add a few drops of green food coloring to the melted white chocolate. Stir thoroughly until the chocolate mixture is an even, vibrant green color.
- Coat Popcorn: Drizzle the green white chocolate over the popcorn. Use a spatula or spoon to gently stir and coat the popcorn evenly without crushing it.
- Add Mix-ins: Fold in 1 cup of pretzel sticks and 1/2 cup of gummy worms, distributing them evenly throughout the coated popcorn.
- Decorate: Sprinkle candy eyes over the popcorn mixture, distributing them evenly for a fun spooky effect.
- Set Chocolate: Allow the coated popcorn to sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes until the chocolate is set and firm.
- Serve: Once the chocolate has hardened, break apart any large clusters and serve immediately or store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality white chocolate chips for a smoother melt and better flavor.
- Adjust the amount of green food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
- For extra crunch, consider adding nuts like almonds or walnuts if there are no allergy concerns.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- If gummy worms become too sticky, chill the mixture briefly before serving.
