Who’s ready for Fall and lots of delicious Halloween treats? Ok, I’m not ready for fall. I am a warm weather fan. But, I’m always ready for a sweet treat. Halloween is the perfect time to indulge a little. And do I have a Halloween snack for you. It’s only 3 ingredients, but everyone who has tried it has loved it. I call it Monster Mix Crunch and you can adapt the recipe to your taste. I like to serve it in small mason jars for cute Halloween snacks or Halloween desserts. If you are serving it for a crowd at Halloween Parties, I’d serve it in a large bowl. This Monster Mix Crunch recipe is gluten free, but if you add any of the optional add-ins, check the labels for wheat.
How to Make Monster Mix Crunch
Ingredients:
You’ll need popcorn
candy corn
gummy candy eyeballs
optional add in ingredients:
peanuts, chocolate coated candies (like M &M’s), chocolate coated peanut butter candies (like Reese’s pieces), chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch or peanut butter chips or dried fruit (like bananas or craisins)
Tips: I use air popped popcorn, but if you are in a hurry, use a few bags of microwave popcorn in your favorite flavor. You can usually find a bag of gummy candy eyeballs and a bag of candy corn for a dollar each at the dollar store.
How to Mix the Monster Mix Crunch.
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix the popcorn, and candy corn.
Step 2: Mix in any optional ingredients and the candy eyeballs.
Step 3: If serving as individual snacks, pour mixture into 8 ounce mason jars. Add a gummy candy eyeball to the center of each jar.
Printable Recipe:
- 12 cups of air popped popcorn
- 1 (16 ounce) package candy corn
- 24 gummy candy eyeballs, plus extra if using the mason jars
- Optional Ingredients: (Use 1 cup each of any of the following)
- peanuts, chocolate coated candies (like M &M’s), chocolate coated peanut butter candies (like Reese’s pieces), chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch or peanut butter chips or dried fruit (like bananas or craisins)
- Step 1: In a large bowl, mix the popcorn, and candy corn.
- Step 2: Mix in any optional ingredients and the candy eyeballs.
- Step 3: If serving as individual snacks, pour mixture into 8 ounce mason jars. Add a gummy candy eyeball to the center of each jar.
