    Colorful, fun, craveably delicious Candy Corn Popcorn would make delightful party gifts packaged in fun individual Halloween bags, or just whip up a batch for you to munch on while you pass out treats to the cute little trick-or-treaters this Halloween. 

    The other day, I was at the grocery store, and they were selling little bags of candy corn popcorn for Halloween. Since I’m always on the look out for fun new products to try, I picked it up and checked it out. It looked like all they’d done to turn the popcorn in to candy corn popcorn was drizzle a little bit of orange and yellow white chocolate on top of popcorn.

    I thought to myself, candy corn popcorn should have candy corn in it. I knew I could make better candy corn popcorn than that, and I headed to the Halloween candy aisle to buy some candy corn to make a better candy corn popcorn.

    While I was in the Halloween candy aisle, to buy the candy corn, there were lots of other “candy corn” candies. So in addition to regular candy corn, I couldn’t resist adding candy corn M&M’s, as well as drizzling the popcorn with Hershey’s Candy Corn creme bars.

    To balance out the sweetness of the candy, and load the popcorn up with even more delicious goodies, I added salty cashew nuts to the mix.

    This wasn’t just better candy corn popcorn, it was dangerously addicting Candy Corn Popcorn. I couldn’t stop eating bite after bite of this Candy Corn popcorn. My family likes candy corn more than I do, but candy corn covered in white chocolate takes it to a whole new level of deliciousness.

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup popcorn kernels popped
    • 1 cup Candy Corn M&Ms
    • 1 cup Candy Corn
    • 1 cup salted cashew nuts
    • 1 package 9.45 oz Hershey’s Candy Corn Creme Bars, chopped

    Instructions

    • Pour the popped corn onto 2 baking sheets lined with a silpat or parchment paper. Remove any unpopped kernels. Mix in M&Ms, candy corn, and nuts.
    • In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt Hershey bars on 50% power. Drizzle chocolate evenly over the popcorn. Using a spatula, toss the popcorn to coat it with the white chocolate.
    • Let the popcorn rest of the trays until the chocolate is dry. (It took several hours, but you could put it in the fridge and it will set faster)
    • *Substitute White Chocolate if you can’t find the Hershey's Candy Corn Creme bars

      All I need is a bowl of that and a girly movie and I’d be set for the night. 🙂 We can’t buy candy corn in Australia but I WON some the other day and it’s on the way to me now. Maybe I’ll make this with them!

      Oh wow, that looks yummy and easy! The last thing I ever made with candy corn was years ago and I made peanut butter candy corn rice krispy treats. That was much more labor intensive then this!

      Oh my goodness Barbara this looks incredible. I imagine little bags of this would go down well with trick or treaters. I wish we had all these goodies in Australia.

      Oh my………..that would be a bowlful of trouble here. That sweet salty thing gets me every time.

      I can understand why it would be hard to stay away from.

      I’ll have to look for those Hershey Candy Corn Creme bars……

      Thanks Barbara!
