Last year, I designed a Monster Mash Bash party for Halloween and included this Halloween Monster Popcorn on the table, but totally forgot to share the recipe, so I’ve got it for you today! It’s super simple to make, tastes a bit like candy corn popcorn, and is really fun! Plus, it’s the perfect treat to snack on when passing out candy to trick-or-treaters or watching scary movies! I went with green monster coloring, but you can do purple, orange and purple, blue, etc. Your choice!

I don’t even know if you really need a formal recipe, but there’s a printable version below in case you need it.

Simply make your popcorn (I like to make mine on the stovetop using a Whirley Pop), pour into a bowl, melt some Candy Melts in the color of your choice ( I like the vibrant green) by following the manufacturer’s directions, then pour it into the bowl, mixing well. Next, immediately pour the popcorn onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper and top with fun, colorful sprinkles and, of course, eyeball sprinkles (which you can usually find at the grocery store or right here!) Throw in a couple of eyeball gummies if you like that sort of sweet candy and popcorn combo.

This probably takes about 10-15 minutes to make and would also be great for a Halloween movie night if you’re staying in and getting cozy!

Halloween Monster Popcorn

Ingredients

1 cup popcorn kernels (I prefer white popcorn)
1 Tbsp vegetable or canola oil
1 package Candy Melts (your color of choice)
Sprinkles
Eyeball Sprinkles

Instructions

If popping popcorn on the stove using a Whirley-Pop, add your vegetable oil to the bottom of the pan along with 3 popcorn kernels and heat over medium heat. After hearing the 3 kernels pop, add the 1 cup of popcorn kernels.
Continuously turn the Whirley-Pop arm to keep the popcorn from burning. Once popping slows to an almost stop, turn off the heat and remove the popcorn popper from the stove.
Pour popcorn into a bowl.
Melt your Candy Melts according to manufacturer's instructions. (I usually do mine in the microwave.)
Once Candy Melts are melted, add to the popcorn in the bowl and mix to combine.
Immediately pour candy melted popcorn onto a parchment paper covered baking sheet and top with colorful sprinkles and eyeball sprinkles.
Enjoy!
