Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Halloween Popcorn
  1. Start by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Evenly spread your popped popcorn over the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the black and orange candy melts according to the package instructions.
  4. Carefully pour half of the melted black or orange chocolate evenly over the popcorn using a pastry bag or a spoon.
  5. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle half of your chosen toppings over the popcorn.
  6. Allow the popcorn to dry for about 30 to 60 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
  7. Once the chocolate is set, gently break apart the popcorn pieces and drizzle more melted chocolate over the top.
  8. When your Easy Halloween Popcorn is fully set and broken into bite-sized clusters, transfer it to festive bowls or bags for serving.
