Sweet and salty popcorn clusters with candy, marshmallow, chocolate and cookies.
Directions for: Halloween Popcorn Treats
Ingredients
Vegetable cooking spray
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
cup popcorn kernels
3 Tbsp butter
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
6 cups (12-oz) mini marshmallows
6 fun-size caramel peanut chocolate bars (such as Snickers), cut into 1/4" pieces
3 (3") chocolate chip cookies, crumbled
cup chopped salted almonds
cup orange and black chocolate candies (such as M and Ms)
Directions
1. Spray the inside of a large mixing bowl with vegetable cooking spray, and lightly spray a baking sheet. Set aside.
2. In a 3 quart or larger, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil and popcorn over medium-high heat. Cover the pan and shake gently. Cook until all the kernels have popped, about 3 minutes. Place the popcorn in the prepared bowl.
3. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over low heat. Add the vanilla extract and marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Using a spatula, sprayed with cooking spray, stir until the popcorn is coated. Spread the mixture over the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the chocolate bar pieces, cookies, almonds and chocolate candies. Using a spatula, gently press the toppings into the popcorn. Allow the mixture to dry for 1 hour.
4. Break into 2-inch pieces and store airtight in a plastic container.
5. Serving Suggestion: Place in small plastic bags and seal with colored ribbon.
