Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn Mix
- 2 bags microwave popcorn (popped, approximately 16-20 cups)
- 1½ cups dry roasted peanuts
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
Coating
- 1 (16-oz) package vanilla Almond Bark or white candy coating
Instructions
- Pop the Popcorn: Pop the microwave popcorn according to package instructions and place it in the largest bowl you have to ensure plenty of room for mixing.
- Add Mix-ins: Pour the dry roasted peanuts, candy corn, and Reese’s Pieces over the popcorn in the bowl.
- Melt the Almond Bark: Break the almond bark into smaller pieces and melt it following the package directions, usually in the microwave or over a double boiler, until smooth and creamy.
- Coat the Mixture: Pour the melted almond bark over the popcorn mixture. Stir gently and thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated with the vanilla candy coating.
- Set the Mix: Spread the coated mixture evenly onto waxed paper, parchment paper, or foil. Allow it to sit undisturbed until the coating is completely dry and set, typically about 10 minutes.
- Break and Serve: Once the coating has hardened, break the mixture into clusters or clumps for serving.
Notes
- Use a large bowl for mixing to avoid spillage.
- Ensure the almond bark is fully melted and smooth before pouring for even coating.
- Spread mixture thinly for faster setting.
- Store in an airtight container to keep fresh.
- Can substitute Reese’s Pieces with M&Ms or other favorite candies.
