Halloween Party Popcorn & Giveaway!
What’s more enticing than a big bowl party popcorn? A spooky Halloween popcorn mix that’s sweet and salty!
It’s officially October, I’m now allowed to post ghoulish treats to my heart’s content without backlash. Eeeeeeee hee hee hee hee hee!
I do get a little excited this time of year. The moment I feel a chill in the air, I’m ready to dig out my Halloween decorations, and put on my tall creepy hat and feathered boa.
I really don’t see why I can’t strut around in my Halloween hat all year long, but Lt. Dan won’t let me.
…Something about special occasions and dignity, I don’t know.
Anyway, this is the month of conspicuous costumes, frightful fun, and dreadfully decorative dishes. We’re already planning all the menacing munchies we’ll serve Halloween night and this party popcorn is on the list.
This popcorn mix is salty-sweet, super crunchy, and loaded with everything I love.
To make Halloween popcorn, simply coat dry salted popcorn with melted candy coating and sprinkle with festive sprinkles. Then toss in your favorite Halloween candies.
Voila!

A party popcorn treat that everyone will love! Wrapped in cellophane bags, this popcorn mix also makes great edible gifts.
Now onto the decorating… where’s my goblin head, drooling rats, and fake blood?
