Halloween Candy Popcorn Mix

Halloween Candy Popcorn Mix

Published October 13, 2026

Popcorn tossed with melted chocolate and mixed with small candies, chopped candy bars and salty pretzels.

Remove any unpopped kernels so no one chips a tooth. Add the candy bars after the chocolate has cooled a bit so they don't melt into the mix.

Keeps 3 days airtight at room temperature. Skip the extra salt if your pretzels are heavily salted.
