Candy Corn Popcorn for Halloween
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.
Candy Corn Popcorn
Ingredients
- 1/2 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

My kids would love this popcorn mix!
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!
Barbara, these popcorn look wonderful, I love the candies in it…and sure perfect for the season.
Thanks for the inspiration…hope you are having a wonderful week 😀
My daughter loves pop corns. I’ll make her these.
I tried candy corn for the first time in my life a few weeks ago so now I know what you’re talking about! 😀 xxx
This looks absolutely irresistible!
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!
how fun and festive. I wish I would have added nuts to my chex mix I posted today. That would have been a great idea. Yours looks delicious
This is such a fun recipe!
This must be totally addictive!
YUM! I could totally gobble up a bowl of this yummy popcorn right now! We need to get candy corn in Australia.
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.
Your recipe sounds so good!! =)
I like the combination of flavors!
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……

These would be dangerous for us too! But love the idea of the bringing candy corn to a whole new level of deliciousness! yum!
