- 2 Bowls
- Saucepan

Preparation
To prepare the Halloween brains…
In a bowl, add the popcorn (cooked or ready-made, salted or unsalted), add the strawberry jam and mix with the spoon.
Then take a saucepan, fill it about halfway with water, and heat it up. In a larger bowl to place over the saucepan for a double boiler, break the white chocolate into pieces with your hands.
Melt the white chocolate for a few minutes, stirring it with a spatula, then pour it into the bowl with the popcorn and mix everything well.
Moisten your hands with water, take the popcorn covered with jam and chocolate, and form brain shapes about the size of a tablespoon.
As you make them, place them on a plate and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. The Halloween brains will then be ready to be enjoyed.
Storage
They can be frozen and thawed a few minutes before consumption.
Note
Since the texture is a bit sticky, if you like, you can enjoy them with a teaspoon.
