Halloween Munch Mix {Ther Perfect Party Treat}

Today I have a fun holiday recipe that the kiddos can also help make. Halloween Munch Mix. This is the perfect little treat to add to party bags for the kids Halloween or school parties.

The pop corn has a vanilla coating which is so yummy. I make this popcorn mix for just about every holiday, it is so versatile. You can color coordinate any candies that you would like to add to the mix.

For Halloween and Fall I use candy corns or the harvest candy corn mix.You can also use the holiday themed m & ms or recess pieces. For a fun effect you can add a few plastic spiders into the mix after you add everything in the treat bags.

This popcorn is best to make the night before you want to serve or give out the party bags. I usually make mine the day before the party and the kids help bag them up that night.

You can also use the clear food service gloves and add the popcorn to those for spooky hands. Just place one candy corn into each finger opening for finger nails, then add the popcorn and tie.

Place a spider ring on one finger. (see below for a photo) For the vanilla coating I use Plymouth Pantry Almond Bark. It is my favorite, in my opinion it is the only one that melts the smoothest and taste the best.

The candy quick brand doesn't get creamy enough to me and the Kroger brand just taste awful. I have used Plymouth pantry for so long I really don't use any other brand it is the one almond bark I can depend on.

It taste just like white chocolate but so much easier to work with. I purchase mine at Walmart in the baking isle right by the chocolate chips. It runs about $2.38 for a 24 oz block, so it really doesn't cost much at all. So there you go a cheap holiday treat for the kiddos.

• 1 - 24 oz block Plymouth pantry vanilla almond bark
• 2 - 3 oz bags regular microwavable popcorn
• 1 - bag candy corn, harvest candy corn mix, m & ms or recess pieces.

• treat bags or clear food service gloves
• colored or holiday themed ribbon to tie the bags or gloves

Instructions

1. Pop the popcorn and remove any UN popped kernels. Place pop corn in a large bowl and set aside. unwrap the almond bark and break into smaller pieces, I break it into fours. Add the almond bark to a microwavable bowl and melt on the DEFROST setting on your microwave.
2. Don't use the cook or reheat setting or you will cook the almond bark instead of melting it. I melt mine in 3 minute intervals and stir in between. When the almond bark is completely melted and smooth pour it over the popcorn.
3. Using a large spoon mix together coating all of the popcorn. Lay out the popcorn on a piece of waxed paper until pop corn is dry. When dry break into smaller popcorn size pieces and add back to a large bowl.
4. Mix in the candies of your choice and place popcorn mixture into individual treat bags add a few plastic spiders to each bag. You can also add the popcorn to clear food service gloves for a fun Halloween treat.
