Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn

  • 10 cups popped popcorn

Chocolate Coating

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Yellow food coloring
  • Orange food coloring

Topping

  • 1 cup candy corn

Instructions

  1. Divide Popcorn: Separate the 10 cups of popped popcorn into three equal portions and place each into separate bowls.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Place the 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Color Chocolate: Divide the melted white chocolate into three small bowls. Add yellow food coloring to one, orange food coloring to the second, and leave the third plain white. Stir each until the color is evenly mixed.
  4. Coat Popcorn: Drizzle the yellow colored chocolate over one portion of popcorn and stir gently to coat the kernels evenly. Repeat this process with the orange colored chocolate and the plain white chocolate on the other two portions.
  5. Combine and Decorate: Transfer all three coated popcorn portions into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle the 1 cup of candy corn evenly over the top as decoration and gently toss to combine slightly without breaking the candies.

Notes

  • Use a white chocolate that melts smoothly for the best coating.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to avoid burning.
  • If desired, you can add a pinch of salt to the popcorn before coating to balance the sweetness.
  • Allow the coated popcorn to set at room temperature before serving for the chocolate to harden slightly.
  • Store the finished popcorn in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
