Monster Munch Popcorn

 Popcorn's gone Halloween, with candy corn, pretzels, and spooky-colored almond bark.

Ingredients

  • ½   cup (125 mL) white or yellow popcorn kernels, divided
  • 1   tbsp (15 mL) oil
  • ½   tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1½   cups (375 mL) mini pretzel twists
  • ½   cup (125 mL) bear-shaped honey or chocolate graham snacks
  • ½   cup (125 mL) lightly salted, dry roasted peanuts (optional)
  • ½   cup (125 mL) candy corn
  • ½   cup (125 mL) candy coated chocolate pieces
  • 2   oz (60 g) vanilla-flavored almond bark
  •  Purple concentrated food gel (optional)

Directions

  1. Add the popcorn kernels and oil to the Electric Pop & Stir. Place the lid on top, then select the POP setting and cook until the kernels have popped and there’s about 3 seconds between pops, about 5–8 minutes. Transfer to a sheet pan, being careful not to add unpopped kernels; sprinkle with the salt.
  2. Top popcorn with pretzels, graham snacks, peanuts, candy corn, and chocolate candy.
  3. Place almond bark in 1-cup (250 mL) Silicone Prep Bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving 30–60 seconds, stirring after 30 seconds until the bark is melted and smooth. Add food coloring until the desired color is reached.
  4. Drizzle the melted bark over the popcorn mixture.
  5. Let stand 5–10 minutes or refrigerate until set.
