Popcorn with a Sweet Candy-Coated Caramel Topping

A+ Halloween Snack | Caramel Candy Popcorn

When is POPCORN a better Halloween movie snack than…say…sour gummy worms?

When I asked this question to the Café’s recipe testers someone quickly blurted out:

“When there’s melted caramel drizzled on top!”

I must admit Caramel Candy Popcorn (or even Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn) tastes freakishly good – and anyone can make it!

Here’s How:

Pop some popcorn, then scare up some butter, brown sugar, apple juice, and honey.

If you dare, scroll down to the recipe below ⬇, to know how much of each ingredient goes into a witch’s cauldron (or a small pot) to make the caramel sauce.

Thickened Caramel Sauce for Caramel Candy Popcorn

Stir until the sauce is thicker than fake Halloween blood…or until it coats a spoon. Takes about 5 minutes.

Pouring Caramel Candy over Popcorn

The BEST part is when you get to pour the hot-and-gooey sauce over the popcorn. It looks soooo sinfully good!

BUT BEWARE! Make it and you (and any zombies around you) may devour this A+ Halloween movie snack all in one sitting…BLEEEAGGHAAH! 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

Have a Happy Halloween! 🎃
