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 popcorn mix is on the list.
Halloween Popcorn Mix is salty-sweet, super crunchy, and loaded with everything I love.
To make this Halloween popcorn mix, simply coat dry salted popcorn with melted candy coating and sprinkle with festive sprinkles. Then toss in your favorite Halloween candies.
Voila!
It’s a party popcorn treat that everyone will love! Wrapped in cellophane bags, this Halloween Popcorn Mix also makes great edible gifts.
Now onto the decorating… where are my goblin heads, drooling rats, and fake blood?

We did this on Saturday for a party, and it was the big hit!! We couldn’t find purple melts so I used green melts with green and blue sprinkles. Being that we made it for 8 yr old boys, we called them zombie boogers! Thanks for the recipe!

I love pumpkin everything, I love to dress up and my youngest daughter was born on Halloween.
the candy, of course!!
Sommer I have been loving all your fall and Halloween posts! (Finally getting on your blog to leave a comment!). This party mix is so beyond cute I can’t stand it! Would never have thought to color the popcorn with melts (you genius you!). I so love Halloween! Though I normally stick closer to more wholesome foods on my blog, all bets are off in October!

My favorite thing about Halloween is taking my son for trick or treat and seeing him dressed up all cute.
I love seeing the excitement and awe in the faces of my two young nieces, in anticipation of picking out and helping carve pumpkins. Last year was the first time they put their hands inside pumpkins to clean them out, they loved it. This year will be absolutely awesome for them.
I love the pumpkins

I love the cool, crisp weather, the leaves turning, and the white tailed deer that can be seen in abundance. At least, I did when I lived in Michigan, now I live in Arizona. Now I’m just glad it’s no longer 115 outside!!

I love getting dressed up with my kids and going trick or treating. They are so full of excitement and wonder, it’s so fun to not only watch but walk with them!

The best part of Halloween is watching all the children in costume
To me the best part of Halloween is seeing the excitement in my daughter’s face. The days leading up to the holiday are filled with dreams of candy and scary things all around. Alex can’t wait to get out there and have everyone see her in her costume and then trick or treat around the area.
That’s what I love about Halloween!
How cute is this! Perfect for Halloween parties!
I love the color of your popcorn!! I thought I was cool by using orange… purple is way better!!
My favorite part about this holiday is the candy. Honest to goodness. I can’t wait to go trick or treating with the little one.. she might be disappointed to see that she can’t have any kit kats, or twix bars, or reese’s. ;-)

This is so festive!! I’m already a sucker for popcorn and when there’s treats in there, I turn into a giddy little girl!
I love the Chasing Fireflies Fall catalog. I think it’s better than any Christmas catalog. Makes me wish I could buy every child I know a costume from there.

This may sound silly, but the thing I like most about Halloween is watching all of the children run around in their costumes and getting to pretend to be whom ever or what ever they want to be! Its great to see all of the creative costumes and the children having so much fun! Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite thing about Halloween is watching the children. I love when they come to the door in their “scariest” or “prettiest” costumes and get excited about getting treats.

The best thing I love Halloween is that I can eat all the chocolate and candies I wanted, for a day, at least. :)

I love the costumes I get to wear on Halloween!
This is beyond cute, Sommer, I love all of the colors and your creativity!
How fun and festive! Love this – could we have this non-Halloween??
I’m seeing this in a big bowl while watching movies this weekend! Love it.
I love how colorful this is!!!
So fun…my kids would go nuts over that sort of treat.
This is too cute and festive! The kiddies would absolutely go nuts over these! And the best part really is the crafts and treats that are made – I love making the kids happy!
The best part of Halloween is making fun sweet treats, like your popcorn! :)
It’s awful, but I love the discounted Halloween candy on November 1st!
I love that fresh pumpkins are available for cooking/baking!
Candy corn..:)
Mostly, I love my kids excitement about dressing up and the carnival their school has.
Otherwise, I could easily skip Halloween.
I just ordered my kids costumes from Chasing Fireflies. They’re scheduled to ship hopefully today!
This is the prettiest and most vibrantly FUN popcorn I have ever seen!!
The Trick-or-treating festivities……giving out the treats (special ones for the kids we know) and “oooohing & awwwwing” over each & everyone one of the kiddos.
Such a fun idea, Sommer!
Favorite thing? The little kids in costume coming for treats.
Wow! How fun is this! I love the idea of using the colored almond bark, and I love the fun colors you picked! I bought my first candy pumpkins this week. Gorging myself already!
i love that its my sisters birthday :)
Probably all of the sweet treats!
Purple popcorn! So fun for Halloween. My kids would go crazy for this.
these are too cute!!
This is TOO cute!! I love this time of year as well. What a creative and fun snack for a Halloween party!
This looks wonderful! How fun!
I love carving pumpkins for Halloween! Thanks for the giveaway!
So fun! And now I need to find a bag of candy corn… ;)
This is so fun and festive!
