The Halloween Popcorn is a fun and colorful version to enjoy popcorn during the spookiest holiday of the year. They are super easy to prepare and you can enjoy them as a treat after dinner, maybe while munching on them during a horror movie. For the recipe, I used ready-made salted popcorn to make the recipe even quicker and more practical, and to create an unusual combination, a mix of sweet, given by the white chocolate, and salty. For the color, I chose red for a ‘bloody’ effect, but you can choose any color you prefer. Curious? Let’s prepare them.

Steps

To prepare the Halloween popcorn…

  • Take a saucepan and fill it halfway with water and put it on low heat, it shouldn’t boil.

  • Meanwhile, while the water heats, in a bowl slightly larger than the saucepan, break the white chocolate into pieces by hand.

  • Then place the bowl with the white chocolate on top of the saucepan, making sure that its bottom is immersed in the saucepan, and stir with the spatula.

  • When the white chocolate is completely melted, add a tablespoon of milk to soften it and the red food coloring. Mix well until the color is uniform.

  • Finally, pour the popcorn into the other bowl and with the help of a teaspoon, drizzle the colored chocolate over them. Gently mix them to color them slightly. The Halloween popcorn is ready to be enjoyed.
