This fun and festive Witches’ Brew Popcorn is perfect for Halloween parties or spooky movie nights. A delicious mix of crunchy popcorn coated with colorful white chocolate, pretzel sticks, gummy worms, and candy eyes creates a spooky but sweet treat everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn Base

  • 10 cups popped popcorn

Coating

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

Toppings

  • 1 cup pretzel sticks
  • 1/2 cup gummy worms
  • Candy eyes (about 20 pieces)

Instructions

  1. Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips by heating in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Add Green Food Coloring: Stir in several drops of green food coloring into the melted white chocolate until you reach a vibrant witchy green color.
  3. Coat the Popcorn: Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the green white chocolate over it. Gently toss using a large spoon or spatula until all the popcorn is lightly and evenly coated with the green chocolate.
  4. Add Pretzels and Candy Eyes: Quickly add the pretzel sticks and candy eyes to the coated popcorn and toss again to incorporate them evenly before the chocolate sets.
  5. Add Gummy Worms: Once the chocolate begins to harden but is still slightly tacky, gently press the gummy worms into the popcorn mixture for a creepy crawling effect.
  6. Let it Set: Spread the mixture out on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray and allow it to cool and harden completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, break into clusters and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days for a spooky sweet treat.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best melting and coating results.
  • Gentle tossing is key to keep popcorn from breaking apart.
  • To speed up setting, place the tray in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
  • Candy eyes can be found at specialty baking stores or online.
  • This treat is best enjoyed fresh within a few days to keep gummy worms chewy.
