Print Recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Makes 2.8 litres of popcorn mix

Ingredients

  • 180 g 12 cups plain air-popped or plain microwave popcorn, unpopped kernels removed
  • 170 g 6 oz orange candy melts
  • 115 g 4 oz purple candy melts
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 4 tbsp Halloween sprinkles orange, black and white mix
  • 2 tbsp black sanding sugar
  • Large parchment-lined baking sheet

Instructions

  • Spread the popcorn in a single layer over the parchment-lined baking sheet, removing any unpopped kernels.
  • Melt the orange candy melts with half the coconut oil in 30-second microwave bursts, stirring until smooth. Repeat with the purple candy melts and remaining coconut oil in a separate bowl.
  • Drizzle the melted orange candy melt over the popcorn in thin ribbons, then drizzle the purple candy melt over the top.
  • Immediately scatter the Halloween sprinkles and black sanding sugar over the still-wet candy coating.
  • Use two large spoons or your hands (lightly oiled) to toss the popcorn gently so the coating begins to coat individual pieces and clusters form.
  • Leave the tray flat at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes until the candy coating is fully set.
  • Break into clusters and transfer to a large bowl or individual paper cones for serving.
