Halloween-themed sprinkles, gummy worms, chopped nuts optional

Method

Pop the Popcorn: Pop 8 cups of popcorn using your preferred method. Ensure it's lightly salted or unsalted.
Melt the Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to package directions. Stir frequently to prevent burning. You can also melt these in a double boiler on your cooktop.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the popped popcorn and pretzel pieces.
Drizzle with Candy: Pour the melted green candy over the popcorn and pretzels. Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Add Candy Eyes & Sprinkles: While the candy is still wet, sprinkle the candy eyes and any other desired sprinkles or candies over the mixture.
Let it Set: Spread the Zombie Popcorn Mix on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it set for about 15-20 minutes, or until the candy has hardened.
Break Apart: Once set, break the popcorn mix into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later. This is one of the most fun Halloween food recipes you can make!
