Monster Munch Popcorn is a fun and festive snack that combines crunchy popcorn, salty pretzels, colorful candy-coated chocolates, and a vibrant green white chocolate drizzle, garnished with playful candy eyes for a spooky, monster-themed treat perfect for parties or Halloween celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn Mix

  • 10 cups popped popcorn
  • 1 cup pretzel pieces

Chocolate Coating

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Green food coloring, a few drops

Decorations

  • 1/2 cup candy-coated chocolates
  • Candy eyes, 20-30 pieces

Instructions

  1. Combine Popcorn and Pretzels: In a large mixing bowl, add 10 cups of popped popcorn and 1 cup of pretzel pieces. Gently stir to evenly distribute the pretzels throughout the popcorn.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Place 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well each time, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add Green Food Coloring: Add a few drops of green food coloring to the melted white chocolate and stir thoroughly until the color is evenly incorporated, resulting in a vibrant green chocolate.
  4. Coat the Popcorn Mixture: Drizzle the green melted chocolate over the popcorn and pretzel mixture in the bowl. Using a spatula or spoon, gently toss everything together to coat the popcorn mixture evenly with the green chocolate.
  5. Add Candy Decorations: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of candy-coated chocolates over the coated popcorn. Then, press candy eyes into various clusters or sections of the popcorn to create a monster-like appearance.
  6. Set and Serve: Spread the popcorn mixture out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to set and harden, about 20-30 minutes at room temperature. Once set, break apart any large clumps and serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute pretzel pieces with other salty snacks like Chex cereal or crunchy crackers if preferred.
  • Use candy eyes of different sizes for a more whimsical monster look.
  • If the chocolate thickens too much while coating, gently reheat it in short intervals.
  • Store leftover Monster Munch Popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, use vegan white chocolate chips and check candy eyes ingredients.
